Abstract
Homochiral (αMe)Leu/Ala and Leu/Ala model peptides were synthesized by solution methods and fully characterized. A solution conformational analysis of the tripeptides was carried out using FT‐IR absorption and ^1^H NMR. The crystal‐state structure of Z‐D‐(αMe)Leu‐(D‐Ala)~2~‐OMe monohydrate was resolved by X‐ray diffraction. The results obtained support the conclusion that the tendency of the non‐coded (αMe)Leu residue to fold into β‐bends and helical structures is markedly higher than that of its unmethylated protein counterpart (Leu).
