1 The conformational study of N-acetyl-N"-methylamide of L-3,4-dehydroproline (Ac-Dhp-NHMe, the Dhp dipeptide) is carried out using hybrid density functional methods with the self-consistent reaction field method in the gas phase and in solution (chloroform and water).

3 For local minima of the Dhp dipeptide in the gas phase and in water, the C(beta)-C(gamma) bonds become shorter by approximately 0.2 A and the bond angles C(alpha)-C(beta)-C(gamma) and C(beta)-C(gamma)-C(delta) are widened by approximately 8 degrees than those of the Pro dipeptide, and the puckering amplitude is computed to be 0.01-0.07 A, indicating that the 3,4-dehydroprolyl ring is quite less puckered.

4 The barriers to cis-trans isomerization of the Ac-Dhp peptide bond increase with the increase of solvent polarity and the isomerization is likely to proceed through the clockwise rotation in water, as found for the prolyl peptide bond. Water dihydropyrimidinase Homo sapiens
