Graphical Abstract
  • strong, short C–F bonds and perturb the acidity and basicity of adjacent functional groups. Moreover, these changes may strongly influence hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions that are crucial for binding to receptors or, in context of protease stability, enzymes. Thus, when introduced in the

  • stability; trifluoroisoleucine; Introduction Peptide-based drugs are promising pharmaceuticals since they offer several advantages including high selectivity, specificity, and efficacy for recognizing and binding to their targets [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, their application as drugs is often limited due

Graphical Abstract
  • affinity for the target/receptor and improved protease stability, bioavailability and specificity [6][7][8]. Conformational bias can be achieved via N-alkylation, α-alkylation or the introduction of alkene amide bond isosteres, but also via local or global cyclization. A prominent advantage of cyclized

Graphical Abstract
  • , N-alkylated ones (peptoid moieties) allow different low-energy conformations, and contrary to common belief they are more restricted in conformational space [32]. Moreover, they commonly possess a higher lipophilicity and protease stability, and this combination seems to improve their antibiotic
