Strategic incorporation of achiral Cα,α-dialkylated amino acids with bulky substituents into peptides can be used to promote extended strand conformations and inhibit protein–protein interactions associated with amyloid formation. In this work, we evaluate the thermodynamic impact of chiral Cα,α monomers on folding preferences in such systems through introduction of a series of Cα-methylated and Cα-ethylated residues into a β-hairpin host sequence. Depending on stereochemical configuration of the artificial monomer and potential for additional hydrophobic packing, a Cα-ethyl-Cα-propyl glycine residue can provide similar or enhanced folded stability relative to an achiral Cα,α-diethyl analogue.
