Although the conformations of two linked peptide units both with glycyl and alanyl residues have been extensively studied,'-$ no systematic investigation of the energies of conformations of two linked peptide units with side chains beyond the CB atom and a comparison with the available crystallograp
Semiempirical AM1 calculations were carried out for quantum-chemically optimized minimum energy conformations of peptides (Ala) 4 -X-(Ala) 4 , where X stands for different L-β£amino acids (Ala,
Using the host-guest technique, tentative scales for the helix-inducing power and the (3-structure-forming potential of various side-chain protected amino acid residues in trifluoroethanol are established mainly by CD measurements. The generally lower tendency for (3-structure formation of the host-
## Abstract **A flexible tool for rigid systems**. Residual dipolar couplings (RDCs) have proven to be valuable NMR structural parameters that provide insights into the backbone conformations of short linear peptidic foldamers, as illustrated here. This study demonstrates that RDCs at natural abund
