The decapeptides Boc-(Aib-L-Ala)s-OMe and Boc-(Aib-L-Val)s-OMe have been studied by 270-MHz lH-nmr in CDCl3 and (CD&SO solutions. Intramolecular hydrogen-bonded NH groups have been delineated using the temperature and solvent dependence of the NH chemical shifts and differential broadening of the NH

✦ Synopsis
270-MHz' H-nmr. In CDCl,, the presence of eight intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded N H groups has been established, consistent with a 3,,,-helical conformation, for both decapeptides. In (CD,),SO, only seven solvent-shielded NH groups are observed, supporting either an a-helical conformation or a partially unfolded 3,0-helix. Ir studies provided supporting evidence for intramolecularly hydrogen-bonded structures in CHCI,, while CD studies suggest helical conformation in both decapeptides in various solvents. CD studies also support helical folding in the C-terminal hexapeptides. The central triplet of L-amino acids appears to destabilize 3,0-helical conformations in polar solvents like (CD,),SO.

## Abstract The ^13^C chemical shifts and spin‐lattice relaxation times are reported for __cyclo__(L‐Pro‐L‐Leu) and __cyclo__(L‐Pro‐D‐Leu). The chemical shifts of the D and L leucyl residues in the cyclic peptides differ from each other by 1.8 and 3.6 parts per million for the α and β carbons, resp
