Abstract
4-Substitution on proline directly impacts protein main chain conformational preferences. The structural effects of N-acyl substitution and of 4-substitution were examined by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography on minimal molecules with a proline 4S-nitrobenzoate. The effects of N-acyl substitution on conformation were attenuated in the 4S-nitrobenzoate context, due to the minimal role of the n→π* interaction in stabilizing extended conformations. By X-ray crystallography, an extended conformation was observed for most molecules. The formyl derivative adopted a δ conformation that is observed at the i+2 position of β-turns. Computational analysis indicated that the structures observed crystallographically represent the inherent conformational preferences of 4S-substituted prolines with electron-withdrawing 4-position substituents. The divergent conformational preferences of 4R- and 4S-substituted prolines suggest their wider structure-specific application in molecular design. In particular, the proline endo ring pucker favored by 4S-substituted prolines uniquely promotes the δ conformation [(ϕ, ψ) ≈(-80°, 0°)] found in β-turns. In contrast to other acyl capping groups, the pivaloyl group strongly promoted trans amide bond and polyproline II helix conformation, with a close n→π* interaction in the crystalline state, despite the endo ring pucker, suggesting its special capabilities in promoting compact conformations in ϕ due to its strongly electron-donating character.

Abstract
Among the twenty natural proteinogenic amino acids, proline is unique as its secondary amine forms a tertiary amide when incorporated into biopolymers, thus preventing hydrogen bond formation. Despite the lack of hydrogen bonds and thanks to conformational restriction of flexibility linked to the pyrrolidine ring, proline is able to stabilize peptide secondary structures such as β-turns or polyproline helices. These unique conformational properties have aroused a great interest in the development of proline analogues. Among them, proline chimeras are tools combining the proline restriction of flexibility together with the information brought by natural amino acids side chains. This review will focus on the chemical syntheses of 3-substituted proline chimeras of potential use for peptide syntheses and as potential use as tools for SAR studies of biologically active peptides and the development of secondary structure mimetics. Their influence on peptide structure will be briefly described.

Abstract
This review describes available methods for the diastereoselective and asymmetric synthesis of quaternary prolines. The focus is on the preparation of alpha-functionalized prolines with the pyrrolidine moiety not embedded in a polycyclic frame. The diverse synthetic approaches are classified according to the bond which is formed to complete the quaternary skeleton.

Abstract
The intrinsic conformational preferences of proline analogues having double bonds between carbon atoms in their rings have been investigated using quantum mechanical calculations at the B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level. For this purpose, the potential energy surface of the N-acety-N'-methylamide derivatives of three dehydroprolines (proline analogues unsaturated at alpha,beta; beta,gamma; and gamma,delta) and pyrrole (proline analogue with unsaturations at both alpha,beta and gamma,delta) have been explored, and the results are compared with those obtained for the derivative of the nonmodified proline. We found that the double bonds affect the ring puckering and the geometric internal parameters, even though the backbone conformation was influenced the most. Results indicate that the formation of double bonds between carbon atoms in the pyrrolidine ring should be considered as an effective procedure to restrict the conformational flexibility of prolines. Interestingly, we also found that the N-acetyl-N'-methylamide derivative of pyrrole shows a high probability of having a cis peptide bond preceding the proline analogue.

Abstract
A comparative study has been carried out on three palindromic tripeptides Gly-Pro-Gly, Ile-Pro-Ile and Lys-Pro-Lys which were present in HIV protein along with their analogues applying density functional computation at B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory. Discrepancy from the structural analysis has been noted for all the systems and it was found to be more for amide capped structure at the C terminal of proline. The puckering amplitude A and Phase angle P of the pyrrolidine ring of proline in the chosen palindromic tripeptides and their analogues were calculated from the endocyclic torsion angles. The minimum energy conformers lying well within the prescribed region of proline were obtained for the derived compounds from potential energy surface scan mentioning that no role has been played by its terminal residues. This is further supported by the simulated amide bands identifying the helical structure for all three palindromic tripeptides signifying the importance of proline. The molecular properties such as stabilization energy, chemical hardness along with dipole moment were calculated and interpreted. The values of Calpha-H(s) and the peptide backbone N-Calpha-CO for all the selected conformers specify the three palindromic tripeptides to have a symmetrical achiral structure.

Abstract
Ab initio molecular orbital computations were carried out at three levels of theory: RHF/3-21G, RHF/6-31G(d), and B3LYP/6-31G(d), on four model systems of the amino acid proline, HCO-Pro-NH2 [I], HCO-Pro-NH-Me [II], MeCO-Pro-NH2 [III], and MeCO-Pro-NH-Me [IV], representing a systematic variation in the protecting N- and C-terminal groups. Three previously located backbone conformations, gammaL, epsilonL, and alphaL, were characterized together with two ring-puckered forms syn (gauche+ = g+) or "DOWN" and anti (gauche- = g-) or "UP", as well as trans-trans, trans-cis, cis-trans, and cis-cis peptide bond isomers. The topologies of the conformational potential energy cross-sections (PECS) of the potential energy hypersurfaces (PEHS) for compounds [I]-[IV] were explored and analyzed in terms of potential energy curves (PEC), and HCO-Pro-NH2 [I] was also analyzed in terms of potential energy surfaces (PESs). Thermodynamic functions were also calculated for HCO-Pro-NH2 [I] at the CBS-4M and G3MP2 levels of theory. The study confirms that the use of the simplest model, compound [I] with P(N) = P(C) = H, along with the RHF/3-21G level of theory, is an acceptable practice for the analysis of peptide models because only minor differences in geometry and stability are observed.

Abstract
The amino-zinc-ene-enolate cyclization reaction is a straightforward route to the synthesis of 3-substituted prolines. Herein we report the application of this reaction to the syntheses of proline chimeras of lysine, glutamic acid, glutamine, arginine, and serine. All these compounds were obtained in enantiomerically pure form and suitably protected for peptide synthesis.
