(Chemical Equation Presented) A twist of fate: Parallel-turn linkers comprising an amino acid derived alcohol conjoined with an aromatic amide through a flexible linkage adopt reverseturn conformations. Cyclopropane tetra-and hexapeptide analogues form a C-H⋯O hydrogen-bond-stabilized parallel-sheet conformation (see scheme). NMR studies confirm the presence of hydrogen bonds in these structures. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA.
