**A tidal vortex (helix)** is formed, both right‐ and left‐handed, where a violent tidal current meets a peaceful sea (the picture from Naruto City Tourist Association shows an example at Naruto channel, Japan). In contrast, α‐helices of proteins almost always show a right‐handed helical screw sense
## Abstract A set of four hexapeptide sequences, each characterized by four strongly helicogenic Aib residues and all combinations of two isomeric Ile/__a__Ile residues at positions 2 and 5, was synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. A detailed solution (by FT–IR absorption, NMR,
The preferred conformations of C"-methyl phenylglycine, C"-methyl phenylalanine, and C"-methyl homophenylalanine residues, as determined in model peptides (including homopeptides) by Fourier transform ir absorption, 'H-nmr, CD, and x-ray diffraction techniques, are compared with the aim of investiga
