Figure 3
(a) A standard T4 hydrogen-bonding pattern found in the crystal structures of dipeptides (Görbitz, 2010BB10). The two horizontal head-to-tail chains are coloured in red (colours relate to the electronic version of the paper); the C(4) chain involving the amide N—H⋯O and two additional Cα—H⋯O inter­actions form vertical one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded tapes coloured in blue. The separation between tapes is called d. (b) Hydrogen bonding in an individual sheet of (I)[link] (highlighted in blue in Fig. 2[link]a), including interactions with the fully occupied water molecules, O1W and O2W, in the water channel. The O atoms of the L-Ser hydroxy groups coming from the adjacent layer have, as in Fig. 2[link](a), been coloured in violet. L-His H atoms on Cβ have been omitted. (c) Hydrogen bonding in a sheet in the structure of Gly-L-Tyr dihydrate (Cotrait & Bideau, 1974BB4). The L-Tyr side chains have been hidden, except for the hydroxy groups of dipeptide mol­ecules in the adjacent layer. Hydrogen-bonded tapes have been coloured in blue in (b) and (c) in the same way as in (a).
