In this paper we attempted to reveal how a large β-substituent (pyrenyl group) of dehydroresidue affects the structural and conformational preferences of (Z)-β-substituted α,α-dehydroalanine. An X-ray crystallographic analysis was carried out for Boc–L-Ala–ΔZPyr–L-Val–OMe (Boc = t-butyloxycarbonyl;...
