A method of generating an isosteric structure of a polypeptide at least partially containing D-amino acids from 3D-coordinates and sequence information of an L-configurated precursor having an N-terminal amino group or substituted amino group, a C-terminal carboxy group or a carboxy derivative, a backbone and L-amino acid side chains, and comprising the steps of - at least partially replacing backbone CO groups with NH groups and vice versa, - while keeping the 3D-coordinates of the precursors L-amino acid side chains, the N-terminal amino group or substituted amino group and the C-terminal carboxy group or carboxy derivative fixed. |
