This poster will describe surface adsorption of beta-helical scaffolds derived from peptides composed of alternating D- and L-amino acids. The monomeric and stable conformation of beta-helical peptides in solution provides a well-defined starting point for discriminating the changes in secondary structure of peptides induced by surface adsorption. NMR, CD, VCD, and XPS results will be presented.
