A coupling constant‐dihedral angle correlation for the HCαCβH system of amino acid residues in peptides has been derived from a set of model compounds covering the full range of dihedral angles. The expression obtained, J = 11.0 cos 2 θ −1.4 cos θ + 1.6 sin 2 θ, is close to those already used in pmr studies of peptide conformation, and provides a firmer foundation for them. A factor limiting the precision of this and other “Karplus relations” is illustrated.
