The design of novel and functional biomimetic foldamers remains a major challenge in creating mimics of native protein structures. Herein, we report the stabilization of a remarkably short β-sheet by incorporating N -(hydroxy)glycine (Hyg) residues into the backbone of peptides. These peptide-peptoid hybrids form unique parallel β-sheet structures by self-assembly upon hydrogenation. Our spectroscopic and crystallographic data suggest that the local conformational perturbations induced by N -(hydroxy)amides are outweighed by a network of strong interstrand hydrogen bonds.
