The molecular structures of four protected isovaline-(Iva-)containing peptides to the pentamer level have been determined by x-ray diffraction. The peptides are t-Boc-Ala-( S ) -1va-Ala-OMe ( t-Boc : tert-butyloxycarbonyl; OMe : methoxy) and its ( R ) -1va diastereomer, and t-Boc-[ Ala-( R ) -Iva],-

Abstract
The preferred conformation of three N^α^‐acetylated Aib/Iva host/guest pentapeptide esters and their N^α^‐benzyloxycarbonylated synthetic precursors, prepared by solution methods and fully characterized, were examined in chloroform solution using FT‐IR absorption and ^1^H‐NMR and in the crystal state by X‐ray diffraction. All these peptides are folded in a 3~10~‐helix structure, irrespective of the experimental conditions used in the conformational analysis. In the crystal state the screw sense preference of the helical structure that is formed seems to be governed by the position of the single Iva residue in the peptide main chain, the ethyl side‐chain disposition, and the nature of the N^α^‐blocking group.
