Abstract
Theoretical calculations of the geminal carbonyl‐^13^C‐ proton coupling constant, ^2^J(C′H), in α‐amino acids have been carried out using Dirac Vector model and Penney‐Dirac bond order formulations. The results indicate that the couplings are dependent on the backbone torsion angle psi (ψ) of the amino acid residues in peptides. The meagre available experimental data seem to support the theoretical findings.

## Abstract The first successful observation of the vicinal ^15^N,^13^C spin‐coupling constants in a series of amino acids, comprising Val, Ile, Leu and Thr, in which the α‐nitrogens are fully replaced with ^15^N, is described. A Karplus‐type dihedral‐angle dependence was noted for the coupling con
