Abstract Our efforts on the synthesis of peptides with well‐characterized secondary structures, combined with detailed spectroscopic investigations, most of them performed in collaboration with internationally recognized experts, have allowed us to publish the electronic (electronic circular dichroism) and vibrational (FTIR absorption, vibrational circular dichroism, Raman, and Raman optical activity) signatures of the poorly studied peptide 3 10 ‐helix (and the related β‐bend ribbon spiral conformation as well) in comparison with those already known for the classical α‐helix.
