## Abstract We use the nmr data concerning the C^α^HC^β^H fragment in eight peptides with rigid side chains to parametrize a Karplus correlation between the vicinal proton __J__~αβ~ coupling constant and the dihedral angle θ. When considering molecules containing the fragment C^α^H^α^C^β^H^β^H^β′

Abstract
A coupling constant‐dihedral angle correlation for the HCαCβH system of amino acid residues in peptides has been derived from a set of model compounds covering the full range of dihedral angles. The expression obtained, J = 11.0 cos~2~ θ −1.4 cos θ + 1.6 sin~2~θ, is close to those already used in pmr studies of peptide conformation, and provides a firmer foundation for them. A factor limiting the precision of this and other “Karplus relations” is illustrated.

## Abstract The first successful observation of the vicinal ^15^N,^13^C spin‐coupling constants in a series of amino acids, comprising Val, Ile, Leu and Thr, in which the α‐nitrogens are fully replaced with ^15^N, is described. A Karplus‐type dihedral‐angle dependence was noted for the coupling con
