## Synopsis A second example of insertion of a water molecule into the helical backbone of an apolar peptide is presented here and compared to a similar occurrence in a longer peptide with the same type of sequence of residues, i.e., Boc-Aib-(Ala-Leu-fib),-OMe. The backbone of the title compound a
Leu-Ala-Leu-Aib-OMe, have been obtained. Antiparallel helix aggregation is observed in crystals grown from methanol ( A ) , while completely parallel packing is observed in crystals from isopropanol ( B ) or an ethylene glycol-ethanol mixture ( C ) . Crystals B and C are very similar in molecular co
## Abstract The role of end groups in determining stereochemistry and packing in hydrophobic helical peptides has been investigated using an Ξ±βaminosobutyric acid (Aib) containing model nonapeptide sequence. In contrast to the Bocβanalogue, Acβ(AibβValβAlaβLeu)~2~βAibβOMe crystallizes with two inde
