Abstract
The α-α helix motif presents key recognition domains in protein-protein and protein-oligonucleotide binding, and is one of the most common super-secondary structures. Herein, we describe the design, synthesis and structural characterisation of an α-α hairpin analogue based on a tetra-coordinated Pd(II) bis-(iminoisoquinoline) complex as a template for the display of two α-helix mimics. This approach is exemplified by the attachment of two biphenyl peptidomimetics to reproduce the side chains of the i and i+4 residues of two helices.
