    Optically pure, water-stable metallo-helical ‘flexicate’ assemblies with antibiotic activity

    The helicates—chiral assemblies of two or more metal atoms linked by short or relatively rigid multidentate organic ligands—may be regarded as non-peptide mimetics of α-helices because they are of comparable s...
