AbstractPeptidomimetic oligomers and foldamers have received considerable attention for over a decade, with β‐peptides and the so‐called peptoids (N‐alkylglycine oligomers) representing prominent examples of such architectures. Lately, hybrid or mixed backbones consisting of both α‐ and β‐amino acids (α/β‐peptides) have been investigated in some detail as well. The present Minireview is a survey of the literature concerning hybrid structures of α‐amino acids and peptoids, including β‐peptoids (N‐alkyl‐β‐alanine oligomers), and is intended to give an overview of this area of research within the field of peptidomimetic science.
