## Abstract Theoretical calculations of the heteronuclear vicinal coupling constant ^3^__J__(^13^C′NC^α^H) in peptides have been carried out using the Dirac vector model. The results showed an angular dependence for this coupling constant, which can be expressed in the form ^3^__J__(^13^C′NC^α^H) =

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′^, the three‐dimensional structure of the model peptides does not need to be known with accurate precision, since each set of J~αβ~ and J~αβ′~ coupling constants is then related to the coefficients of the Karplus equation. A good correlation is observed with the Karplus equation,
which is in substantial agreement with the J~αβ~ coupling constants reported for rigid as well as rotating C^α^C^β^ bonds in peptides.
