can be used directly in predicting conformation and hence the secondary structure to a large
extent.36, 37 Cis/trans conformers involving Proline residues are distinguished based on the
difference (Δδ), between the C β and C γ chemical shifts.38, 39 In this study, this diagnostic
chemical shift difference is made use of in elucidating the cis/trans conformers. For peptide
(1) in the solid state, the (Δδ) of Proline (2) residue is 10.3 and 9.48 ppm for the two cis …
