In the experimental crystal structure of (I) (left) the ethyl group of the Ile residue of molecule B is rotated to relieve a short distance between H91B and F2C. If the C7B—C8B—C9B—C10B torsion angle had been exactly 180°, this distance would have been too short (right). The terminal methyl group, with C10B as a sphere, is not involved in any short contacts. |
