## Abstract The effect of thioamide substitution on the conformational stability of an azaglycine‐containing peptide, For‐AzaGly‐NH~2~ (**1**), was investigated for the sake of finding possible applications by using __ab initio__ and DFT methods. As model compounds, For‐[ΨCSNH]‐AzaGly‐NH~2~ (**2**)
The conformational behavior in solution of a cyclic peptide with sequence cyclo-(Pro 1 -Pro 2 -Dab 3 (cHexA)c[N g HCO]-Leu 4 c[NHCO]-Suc 5 -Gly 6 -) has been throughly investigated with the combined use of nmr and molecular dynamic techniques. The compound, which has been modeled to mimic the FK506
## Abstract Two synthetic peptides, SNaseα1 and SNaseα2, corresponding to residues G55–I72 and K97–A109, respectively, of staphylococcal nuclease (SNase), are adopted for detecting the role of helix α1 (E57–A69) and helix α2 (M98–Q106) in the initiation of folding of SNase. The helix‐forming tenden
The conformational preferences of linear peptides containing a,a-disubstituted a-amino acids, derived from the crystal structures of 28 compounds, are reviewed. In particular, the sensitivity of peptide conformation to the geometry of these unusual amino acids is underlined. We also consider possibl
