Abstract
A simple theoretical model is used to suggest that the NCCH coupling constant, Jnh, has a dihedral angle dependence that can serve for estimating the angle Ψ in peptides. Some experimental comparisons are made to test the model; they include a new measurement of Jnh in N-acetylglycine.
Keywords: theoretical, NCCH coupling constant, dihedral angle dependence
