Direct chemical modifications provide a simple and effective means to "translate" bioactive helical peptides into potential therapeutics targeting intracellular protein-protein interactions. We previously showed that distance-matching bisaryl cross-linkers can reinforce peptide helices containing two cysteines at the i and i+7 positions and confer cell permeability to the cross-linked peptides. Here we report the first crystal structure of a biphenyl-cross-linked Noxa peptide in complex with its ...[more]
