        abstract = {Based on theoretical models scaffold 13 was predicted to self assemble through intermolecular hydrogen bonds.  The synthesis of scaffold 13 was successfully synthesized using standard Fmoc Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.  Connectivity was confirmed through full structural characterization.  Scaffold 13 was probed for its ability to self-assemble in DMSOd6 in the presence of 0.2 percent TFA.  Our hypothesis for self-assembly of scaffold 13 was not supported under any of the conditions explored.  ROESY correlations failed to indicate self-assembly between interacting scaffolds and a variable temperature NMR study at three separate concentrations also failed to provide evidence of self-assembly.}
