Abstract: | Summary 1. An empirical method for the quantitative determination of the number of NH groups of different types in peptides based on measurements of the integral intensity of the amide A bands in the IR spectra has been developed.2. The IR spectra of the diastereomeric cyclohexaalanyls in CHCl3 solutions have been studied; they indicate the participation of an average of four NH groups in IMBHs.3. On the basis of a theoretical conformational analysis and of dipole-moment measurements, the system of IMHBs and the type of dominant conformation of the cyclohexapeptides in nonpolar solvents have been established.M.
