Abstract

A metal-free and achiral tri-pyridylamide foldamer,DM 11, containing a critical naphthalimide side chain self-assembles in a left-handed helical manner in the presence of chiral adenosine phosphates, under physiological conditions. Surprisingly, a very high degree of helicity in the foldamer assemblies was observed with ADP compared to other nucleoside phosphates, including ATP.
