The molecular modeling was performed with the Macromodel 4.5 version package on a Silicon Graphics workstation, with a protocol involving a sequential Monte Carlo conformational search, energy minimization, molecular dynamic simulation, and energy minimization again.

31. For clarity, the radical is shown as a singly-occupied p-orbital, which could be delocalized into the carbonyl group of the amide.
