β‐difluorinated cycloaliphatic amino acids, a library of new dipeptide nitriles was evaluated as human cathepsininhibitors. The orientation of the fluorinated face relative to the protein structure of cathepsinB was elucidated by molecular modeling and NMR studies (see figure). For (R)‐configured eutomers, the fluorine atoms are directed to the S2 pocket, whereas in (S)‐configured distomers, the fluorinated face
