We checked the possibility that the observed contact between the hydrogen atom at the amino acid stereogenic centre and the acetyl hydrogen atoms might be an artefact due to scalar coupling-transfer through the NH signal; this spin diffusion interference is usually caused by the frequency of the transmitter. However, ROESY spectra recorded with a different transmitter frequency (original transmitter frequency: 5 ppm; modified transmitter frequencies: 6 ppm and 7 ppm) gave the same results. Thus, the observed contacts are real, and account for a certain percentage of cis-amide.

41. 3) - i.e., guest/host ratio of 5:1 (ca. 92% saturation). In spectrum (a) we detected the NOE contacts, which we have already described in the text. In spectrum (b) we essentially detected no major changes. The experiment therefore gave no useful information regarding the binding. In spectrum (c) very few signals could be observed and the signal-to-noise ratio was too high.
