n→π* Interactions in Proteins

Hydrogen bonds between backbone amides are common in folded proteins. Here, we show that an intimate interaction between backbone amides likewise arises from the delocalization of a lone pair of electrons (n) from an oxygen atom to the antibonding orbital (π*) of the subsequent carbonyl group.
