## Abstract The conformation of the thyrotropinβreleasing factor (TRF) and four analogs have been studied by the CNDO/2 molecular orbital method. The N^Ξ΄^βprotonated tautomer of TRF is predicted to be the more stable of the two tautomeric forms; however, it is postulated that the N^Ξ΅^βtautomer poss

β¦ Synopsis
The conformations of model fragments of TRH(p Glu-His-Pro-NH2) were calculated by the CNDO/2 molecular orbital method. The predicted conformations of pyroglutamic-N-methylamide and prolineamide agree well with the crystal structures of pyroglutamide and proline. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is found to occur in both of the imidazole tautomers in histidine-N,N-dimethylamide.
