The molecular and crystal structures of two N alpha-protected tripeptide amides, containing in the central position the alpha-beta-dehydro-amino acid residue delta Phe (Z-configurational isomer), were determined by X-ray diffraction. While Z-Gly-delta Phez-L-Pro-NH2 is characterized in the crystal state by the presence of a type I beta-bend conformation (at the delta Phez-L-Pro sequence), Z-D-Ala-delta Phez-Gly-NH2 is folded into two consecutive beta-bends (type II' followed by type I), at the D-Ala-delta Phez and delta Phez-Gly sequences, respectively. In both cases the achiral delta Phez residue adopts a set of phi, psi angles typical of the right-handed helical conformation. The delta Phe residue may be exploited to design aromatic peptides with preferred secondary structures.
