of the best solution with a combined figure of merit (CFOM) value 0.041. After
assigning each peak to the corresponding element, isotropic refinement was carried
out using the computer program SHELXL97 (Sheldrick 1997). Water molecules
were located in the electron density map. Anisotropic refinement was carried out for
all non-hydrogen atoms after the convergence of isotropic refinement. All hydrogen
atoms were fixed using stereochemical criteria and during the refinement, they were
allowed to ride on their parent atoms. The structure was refined to an R-factor of
4.24% and the refinement converged at the agreement factor shown in Table 7.
3.3.3 Molecular Dimensions
Figure 15 shows the conformation of dipeptide III (AF) with residue labelling.
The molecular parameters of all non-hydrogen atoms are given in Appendix C. In
general, the bond lengths and bond angles of the coded amino acid [Ala] are in
agreement with the previously observed values for the geometry of peptide groups
(Benedetti 1977). In addition, all the geometric parameters [CA=CB; N–CA; CA–C
