A novel cyclic trimer of a β-amino acid, trans-2- aminocyclohexylcarboxylic acid, was synthesized and its conformation and ability to form assemblies investigated. FT-IR and NMR measurements and computational calculations showed that this cyclic tri-β-pep

Antimicrobial α-helical α-peptides are part of the host-defense mechanism of multicellular organisms and could find therapeutic use against bacteria that are resistant to conventional antibiotics. Recent work from Hamuro et al. has shown that oligomers of
