37. For consistency, we used a PBS concentration of 1 mm both for high-concentration aqueous samples ('1 mm peptide 1), and for low-concentration aqueous samples (1 mm led to unacceptable absorbance in the far-UV CD spectra. Results from variable-concentration CD spectroscopy experiments (Figure 2) indicate that sample 1w has a similar conformation at 2.5 mm, where the PBS concentration was less than the peptide concentration, and at 0.1 mm, in which the PBS concentration was ten times the peptide concentration. Before beginning CD or NMR spectroscopy experiments, we checked the pH of each sample of 1w and found it to be 7; we attribute the stabilization of the sample pH at 7 to self-buffering by the peptide. We note, furthermore, that the CD spectra of samples in pure water were indistinguishable from those of samples in PBS.

We note that, in addition to variable concentration CD and analytical ultracentrifugation, other techniques exist for assessing the aggregation state of biomolecules, including a) gel filtration chromatography (see: Gel Filtration:Principles and Methods. Handbook 18-1022-18; Amersham Biosciencenes, Uppsala, 2002.), and
48. For simplicity, we refer to a b-hairpin and b-hairpin/b5.6 helix as a secondary and a supersecondary structure, respectively; we note, however, that b hairpins are sometimes considered supersecondary structures in their own right.

118. To avoid confusion, we refer to the unfolded forms of foldamers as having only primary structure. We note, however, that, at least for peptides and proteins composed of a-amino acid residues, growing experimental evidence suggests that the unfolded states are not true random coils and instead possess at least nascent secondary structure. See, for example: Z. S. Shi, K. Chen, Z. G. Liu, A. Ng, W. C. Bracken, N. R. Kallenbach, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2005, 102, 17964-17968.
