Table 2.

Overall functional group effects on cis-trans isomerism in Ac-TYXN-NH2 peptides. ΔΔG = ΔGtrans/cis(4R stereoisomer) − ΔGtrans/cis(4S stereoisomer), with negative ΔG consistent with the magnitude of stereoelectronic effects and positive ΔG indicating steric effects dominating over stereoelectronic effects. By definition, for Pro (4R = 4S = H), ΔΔG = 0.00.
