The solid state conformational preferences of a series of 2-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) foldamers bearing a single N-terminal tertiary amino acid (Cbz-L-phenylalanine (Cbz-L-Phe)) have been investigated by X-ray crystallography. The type of β-turn present at the N-terminus and the global screw-sense preferences of the Aib foldamers were determined by analysis of intramolecular hydrogen-bonds and peptide torsion angles. The contrasting influence of a C-terminal ester or amide on the 310 helical conformation of the foldamers was established by identifying the hydrogen-bonding motifs adopted in the solid state. The ability of non-Aib achiral quaternary residues in the middle of the chain to stabilise the 310 helix was similarly confirmed. Combining these structural features, which promote the formation of consecutive i → i + 3 β-turns in Aib foldamers, permitted the formation of long chain oligomers in 310 helical conformations that extend over 21 Å.
