New insight into hydrogen bonds : The authors present a new approach to the analysis of the polypeptide and polynucleotide secondary structures that is based on the observation of the “through‐hydrogen‐bond” nuclear spin–spin coupling in a simple peptide‐model molecule, N ‐methylacetamide. The geometry of N ‐methylacetamide is gradually changed (see picture) to mimic the response to the major energy components of hydrogen‐bonded interactions, and the associated changes in the one‐bond 15 N 13 C′ nuclear spin–spin coupling are estimated by calculating the Fermi contact term.
