Peptidomimetic

Figure 1. D-peptides assume the mirror image conformation of their L-peptide analogues.
Many D-proteins and other D-peptides 
when placed in a nonchiral solvent like water, assume the mirror image conformation of their L-peptide 
counterpart. Pictured is an L-peptide (1) fragment with the sequence Asp-Val-Ser and the D-peptide
Asp-Val-Ser (2) shown from C-terminus to N-terminus.
Figure 2. An L-peptide and its analogues. An L-peptide (1) sequence has three analogues: the D-enantiomer (3) with the same sequence,
the retro L-peptide (4) with the inverted sequence, and the retro-inverso D-peptide(4), with all D-amino acids and the inverted sequence. 
In this image (1) and (3) are shown from C-terminus on the left to N-terminus on the right, 
while (2) and (4) are shown from N-terminus to C-terminus. Note that (1) and (2) have similar side chain positions; one is the retro-inverso
sequence of the other. The same applies to (3) and (4).
Figure 3. Mirror image phage display.
(A) A target L-amino acid protein (L-protein) for which an L-peptide inhibitor might be available is selected. The D-enantiomer protein (D-protein) is chemically synthesized from the same sequence using D-amino acids. If the target L-protein does not require a chaperone or co-factor to fold, the D-protein will mirror the conformation and properties of the L-protein, but the L-peptide inhibitor will most likely have little binding affinity towards it. (B) The synthesized D-proteins are fixed to a surface and exposed to phage displaying many different L-peptides. (C) L-peptides that do not bind well to the surface are washed away. The remaining L-peptides are sequenced. (D) The D-enantiomer peptides (D-peptides) of the binding L-peptides are synthesized using the same sequence and tested against the L-proteins. The D-peptide will bind the L-protein but most likely not bind the D-protein mirror.

A peptidomimetic is a small protein-like chain designed to mimic a peptide. They typically arise either from modification of an existing peptide, or by designing similar systems that mimic peptides, such as peptoids and β-peptides. Irrespective of the approach, the altered chemical structure is designed to advantageously adjust the molecular properties such as, stability or biological activity. This can have a role in the development of drug-like compounds from existing peptides. These modifications involve changes to the peptide that will not occur naturally (such as altered backbones and the incorporation of nonnatural amino acids).
