title: IR circular dichroism of turns in small peptides.
abstract: The observation of circular dichroism (CD) in vibrational transitions in the infrared spectral region offers new possibilities for the determination of peptide solution conformation. Infrared or vibrational CD (VCD) is a particularly sensitive probe for the conformation of various peptide turns. Results of small linear and cyclic peptides containing beta- or gamma-turns are reported.
