39. A consistent exception is when an L -amino acid finds itself at the C-terminal residue of a peptide ester (see Ref.[9] for example) an effect noted by Schellman (, C. Schellman, in Protein Folding (Ed.:, R. Jaenicke,), Elsevier, Amsterdam 1980). The alamethicin fragment Boc-Pro-Aib-Ala-Aib-Ala-OH

A similarly strong dependence of chiroptical properties from the same torsional angle in benzamides was recently observed by Meijer, Palmans, and co-workers in a combined CD/TD-DFT study on supramolecular helical polymers:, Y.
