Abstract
Sensitive scaffolds: An isocyanide equipped with an environment-sensitive fluorophore was used to synthesize peptide macrocycles. The photophysical properties of the product macrocycles are sensitive to both peptide sequence and configuration. A mitochondria-penetrating peptide was constrained within a cyclic peptide framework and showed increased uptake and localization relative to a linear control (see scheme).
