## Abstract The oxygen of a peptide bond has two lone pairs of electrons. One of these lone pairs is poised to interact with the electron‐deficient carbon of the subsequent peptide bond in the chain. Any partial covalency that results from this n→π\* interaction should induce pyramidalization of th

In many common protein secondary structures, such as alpha-, 3(10), and polyproline II helices, an n --> pi\* interaction places the adjacent backbone amide carbonyl groups in close proximity to each other. This interaction, which is reminiscent of the Burgi-Dunitz trajectory, involves delocalizatio
