Which way to turn? For the very first time, a linear dipeptide has been shown to accommodate two consecutive γ turns in the solid state. An aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid has overridden the tendency of proline to induce a β‐turn conformation in Pro‐Xaa dipeptides (see X‐ray crystal structure; blue: N, red: O, dashed lines show H bonds).
