the peptide backbone. As a consequence, there is a reduction in the energy difference between the prolyl amide cis and trans isomers, making them nearly isoenergetic; this leads to higher cis N-terminal amide content relative to the other amino acids. Moreover, the isomerization of the prolyl amide bond has been shown to be the ratedetermining step in the folding pathways of many peptides and proteins
