Conformational preferences and cis-trans isomerization of azaproline residue
Article Abstract:
Ab initio high-frequency (HF) and density functional methods with the self-consistent reaction field method are used to study N-acetyl-N'-acetyl-N'-methylamide of azaproline (Ac-azPro-NHMe, the azPro dipeptide). The pertinent distance and the pyramidality of imide nitrogen have described the role of the hydrogen bond in stabilizing the transition state structure and the lower rotational barriers for the azPro dipeptide than those for the Pro dipeptide in the gas phase and in solution.
