description

In the crystal structure of the tetrapeptide Boc0–Gly1–ΔPhe2–Gly3–Phe4–p-NA (p-NA is para-nitro­aniline), C33H36N6O8, there are two independent mol­ecules differing in conformation in the asymmetric part of the unit cell. All the amino acids in the peptide are linked trans to each other. The torsion angles in the main chain of both mol­ecules are close to the values of the type β-II turn. Two intramolecular and three intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the conformation of each of the mol­ecules.
