✦ Synopsis

The 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl-4-amino-4-carboxylic

acid is a nitroxide spin-labeled, achiral C a -tetrasubstituted a-amino acid that has recently been shown to be an effective b-turn and 3 10 /a-helix inducer in peptides and an excellent and relatively rigid electron spin resonance probe and fluorescence quencher.
