The known protein structures have been analyzed to find out if there is any pattern in the type of residues used and their conformation at the two terminal positions of the polypeptide chains. While the N-terminal position is overwhelmingly occupied by Met (followed by Ala and Ser), the preference f

## Abstract The conformational study of __N__‐acetyl‐__N__′‐methylamide of L‐3,4‐dehydroproline (Ac‐Dhp‐NHMe, the Dhp dipeptide) is carried out using hybrid density functional methods with the self‐consistent reaction field method in the gas phase and in solution (chloroform and water). The incorpo
The present paper is the result of an analysis of the available crystal structure data related to the statine amino acid so as to obtain information about bond lengths, bond angles, and preferential conformations. The number of configurations actually observed is small; nevertheless, some characteri
## Abstract In this report, we present a computational methodology for the pKa prediction of proteins, based on linear‐scaling molecular orbital calculations for their solution‐conformations obtained from NMR measurements. The method is used to predict the pKa values of five carboxylic acids (Asp7,
