Pyrrolidine ring conformations in prolyl peptides from 13C spin‐lattice relaxation times

Abstract
A method was developed in the framework of a bistable jump model to obtain the pyrrolidine ring conformations in proline peptides from 13C spin‐lattice relaxation times. Equations are presented expressing the ring torsions in terms of the 13C spin‐lattice relaxation times of the ring carbons. This method was applied to 26 pyrrolidine ring systems and acceptable conformations were obtained.
