Proteomimetic
Proteomimetics are molecules that mimic certain protein characteristics such as shape, binding properties or enzymatic activity.[1] While conceptually linked to peptidomimetics which mimic short peptide sequences or secondary structures, proteomimetics recapitulate tertiary structures. This can involve the mimicry of entire protein domains[2] or fragments thereof.[3] Proteomimetic approaches can range from entirely abiotic scaffolds[2] to specific main chain and side chain-modifications.[4][5]
