✦ Synopsis
Synthesis and conformational studies of a short linear peptide containing a pyrrole amino acid (1, Paa) and a furan amino acid (2, Faa), namely Boc-hGly-Faa-D-Pro-Gly-Paa-hGly-Faa-OMe (3), were carried out in which it was established that peptide 3 adopted a well-defined b-hairpin structure in DMSO-d 6 .

The incorporation of the b-amino acid residues into specific positions in the strands and b-turn segments of peptide hairpins is being systematically explored. The presence of an additional torsion variable about the C(a)ÀC(b) bond (q) enhances the conformational repertoire in b-residues. The confor
## Abstract The β turn segment in designed peptide hairpins has been expanded by the insertion of β‐, γ‐ and δ‐amino acids at the __i__+2 position. The model octapeptides Boc‐Leu‐Phe‐Val‐^D^Pro‐Ac~6~c‐Leu‐Phe‐Val‐OMe (1), Boc‐Leu‐Phe‐Val‐^D^Pro‐β^3^‐Ac~6~c‐Leu‐Phe‐Val‐OMe (2), and Boc‐Leu‐Phe‐Val‐^
