β¦ Synopsis
Although the conformations of two linked peptide units both with glycyl and alanyl residues have been extensively studied,'-$ no systematic investigation of the energies of conformations of two linked peptide units with side chains beyond the CB atom and a comparison with the available crystallographic data appears t o have been made so far, nor are there reports of calculations on the Nand C-terminal residues. Recently we r e ported potential energy calculations on the preferred molecular conformations of glycine, alanine, and aminobutyric acid4,5 and on the backbone conformations of Nand C-ter-

Over the last few years x-ray diffraction and nmr investigations have been reported for a variety of natural and synthetic peptides in order to enhance our understanding of the conformation of several amino acid side chains and especially those bearing functional groups such as hydroxyl, sulfhydryl,
