Graphical Abstract

Molekulares Design kann für die Untersuchung genutzt werden, ob die Sekundärstruktur von parallelen β-Faltblättern einer längenabhängigen kooperativen Stabilisierung entlang der Strangausrichtung unterliegt (siehe Bild). Die Stabilität von parallelen β-Faltblättern wird durch die Verlängerung der Stränge durch Einführung von geeigneten Resten (B) stetig erhöht, während die Einführung von anderen Resten (A) diese Stabilisierung aufhebt.
