Using steered molecular dynamics simulations and strain analysis it is shown that, in contrast to previous assumptions, the experimentally found low rupture force of the iron–sulfur-bond in rubredoxin cannot be explained by hydrogen bond networks.

Conformational preference of Ac-AzAla-NHMe has been investigated using ab initio calculations. Azaalanine in peptides prefer to adopt two conformational families including four conformations in which (φ,ψ) are (-90°, -13°), (90°, 13°), (-70°, 164°) and (70°, -164°). The stability at φ = ±90° is explained by repulsion of lone pairs on the nitrogens and hydrogen bonding between Ac-N and terminal N(Me)H. On the other hand, the angle ψ adopts only ~0° or 180° since the N(Me)-C(O) bond has double bond character. One conformational family in which the (φ,ψ) torsion angles are (-90°, -13°) or (90°, 13°), is similar to the i+2 position of typical β-I or β-II turns. The other conformation in which the (φ,ψ) torsion angles are (-70°, 164°) or (70°, -164°), is similar to the polyproline II structure appearing in collagen. We believe that these results are useful in designing constrained peptidomimetics for drug discovery and peptide engineering.

Molecules of the title compound, C15H19N3O, are composed of an adamantine unit and a pyrazine ring connected to each other through an amide bond. The H—N—C=O moiety is close to planar [C—N—C—O and C—N—C—C torsion angles of 4.7 (2) and −173.8 (1)°, respectively]. The N3—C5 bond has partial double-bond character [1.370 (1) Å]. The geometries of the pyrazine ring and the adamantane substituent are normal and in good agreement with closely related structures. In the crystal, molecules are connected by N—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming zigzag chains in the [001] direction and are arranged in a herringbone fashion.
