3-Cyclopropyl-1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole monohydrate.

The title structure, C11H9N3S.H2O, contains two crystallographically independent molecules, each consisting of a 1,2,4-triazolo[3,4-b]benzothiazole-fused ring fragment substituted with a cyclopropyl ring, and a water molecule. The geometry of both molecules differs slightly. Both molecules are planar within 0.041 and 0.03 A. The dihedral angle between triazole and the cyclopropyl ring is 60.0(1) and 61.7(1) degrees for molecules A and B, respectively, and the cyclopropyl ring is inclined at an angle of 2.0(1) and 1.2(1) degrees to the benzothiazole moiety for molecules A and B, respectively. The packing of the molecules is stabilized by O-H...N-type hydrogen bonds.

Coexistence of folded and extended conformations of a tripeptide containing alpha, alpha -di-n-propylglycine in crystals.

The crystal structure of the tripeptide Boc-Leu-Dpg-Val-OMe (Dpg, alpha, alpha -di-n-propylglycine) reveals the coexistence of two distinct backbone conformations. In molecule A the Dpg residue adopts a fully extended conformation (phi = 76.0 degrees, psi = 180.0 degrees) while in molecule B a left handed helical conformation (phi = 62.8 degrees, psi = 39.6 degrees) is observed. Molecule B adopts a folded structure corresponding to a highly distorted Type II beta-turn conformation, which lacks an intramolecular 4 -> 1 hydrogen bond. In contrast, molecule A has an open, extended conformation. The results demonstrate that both fully extended and helical conformations are energetically accessible to the Dpg residue.
