The geometry and conformation for a variety of reactive or-amino acid and peptide derivatives, as obtained from x-ray diffraction analyses, are reviewed in detail. The derivatives are (a) carboxylic acid halides, (b) anhydrides, (c) esters, (d) azides, and (e) amides. The contribution of this information to our understanding of amino acid reactivity, regiospecificity, and tendency to racemization is discussed. (C) 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
The geometry and conformation for a variety of reactive or-amino acid and peptide derivatives, as obtained from x-ray diffraction analyses, are reviewed in detail. The derivatives are (a) carboxylic acid halides, (b) anhydrides, (c) esters, (d) azides, and (e) amides. The contribution of this information to our understanding of amino acid reactivity, regiospecificity, and tendency to racemization is discussed.
