    Notes: The crystal-state preferred conformations of six Nα-blocked pentapeptide esters, each containing four helicogenic, achiral α-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) residues followed by one chiral L-valine (L-Val) or Cα-methyl-L-valine [(αMe)Val] residue at the C-terminus, have been assessed by x-ray diffraction analysis. In all of the compounds the —(Aib)4— sequence is folded in a regular 310-helical conformation. In the four pentapeptides characterized by the L-(αMe)Val residue two conformationally distinct molecules occur in the asymmetric unit. Conversely, only one molecule is observed in the asymmetric unit of two pentapeptides with the C-terminal L-Val residue. In the L-Val based peptides the helical screw sense of the —(Aib)4— sequence is right-handed, whereas in the L—(αMe)Val— analogues both right- and left-handed helical screw senses concomitantly occur in the two crystallographically independent molecules. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
