Conformation confirmation : The nine conformers of the neurotransmitter γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) identified in the gas phase can serve as a basis to represent the shape of GABA. An n→π* interaction guided by the Bürgi–Dunitz trajectory of nucleophilic addition is thought to be relevant in the stabilization of two of the folded conformers ( gG1 and gG3 in the picture).
