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

Abstract
A single chiral cyclic α,α‐disubstituted amino acid, (3__S__,4__S__)‐1‐amino‐(3,4‐dimethoxy)cyclopentanecarboxylic acid [(S,S)‐Ac~5~c^dOM^], was placed at the N‐terminal or C‐terminal positions of achiral α‐aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) peptide segments. The IR and ^1^H NMR spectra indicated that the dominant conformations of two peptides Cbz‐[(S,S)‐Ac~5~c^dOM^]‐(Aib)~4~‐OEt (1) and Cbz‐(Aib)~4~‐[(S,S)‐Ac~5~c^dOM^]‐OMe (2) in solution were helical structures. X‐ray crystallographic analysis of 1 and 2 revealed that a left‐handed (M) 3~10~‐helical structure was present in 1 and that a right‐handed (P) 3~10~‐helical structure was present in 2 in their crystalline states.
