MeSH Heading: Peptoids
Tree Number(s): D12.644.679
Unique ID: D034444
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D034444
Scope Note: Polymers of N-SUBSTITUTED GLYCINES containing chiral centers at the a-position of their side chains. These oligomers lack HYDROGEN BONDING donors, preventing formation of the usual intrachain hydrogen bonds but can form helices driven by the steric influence of chiral side chains.
Entry Term(s): Peptoid
Registry Numbers: 0
Previous Indexing: Peptides (1987-2002)
Public MeSH Note: 2003
History Note: 2003
