(b) Using alanine as an example, draw possible conformations of alanine in a peptide chain and identify which conformer is favoured. (c) Discuss how considering 'allylic strain' [see pages 33-39 of handout 1] can explain the favoured conformation in part b above, and how this is relevant to the B-sheet conformation in peptides/proteins.
