The barriersto rotation about the C “-C'bond between the cis'(~ 125) and trans'(~ 325) minimum energy conformations in an isolated trans peptide bond L-proline residue are estimated using semiempirical potential functions. Nonbonded repulsiveand London dispersion interactions are evaluated using a 6-12 poten-tial, whileelectrostatic interactions are treated in the monopole-monopole approximation. Contributions made by hydrogen bonding between the carbonyl oxygen preceding and the amide proton succeeding the pyrrolidine ring are accounted for by the method of Brant. In addition, valence angle distortion and peptide bond rotation resulting in nonplanar conformations are considered. All bond lengths are fixed, while the valence angles and the angles of rotation,, and are varied. The calculated barriers at^= 60 and 210 between the cis' and trans' conformations are found to be significantly lower than the cis-trans barrier (oz. 20 kcal/mol) about the peptide bond. In fact, both barriers are less than 10 kcal/mol and would not lead to separate nuclear magnetic resonances (one for cis' and another for trans') at room temperature. Distortion of the valence angles from their crystalline values, which greatly relieve the steric interactions of the proline carbonyl group and the NH group succeeding the pyrrolidine ring with the/3-CH2 group of the pyrrolidine ring and with the carbonyl group preceding the pyrrolidine ring, and when~ 210, the intramolecular hydrogen bond between the carbonyl group preceding and the NH group succeeding the pyrrolidine ring, as suggested previously, account for the small barriers. uring the course1-12 of determining the solution conformations of several cyclic peptides (synthetic1-6 and biologically active7-11) containing isolated L-proline residues (an L-proline residue not suc-ceeded by another proline residue13) using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (nmr) and confor-mational energy estimates, the question of the magnitude of the barrier to rotation about the C “-C'bond (see
