We report on three distinct neutralconformers that show a singular non-interacting and flexibleamide sidechain in contrast with the other proteinogenicaliphatic amino acids. It could explain the essential biologicalrole of glutamine as a nitrogen source, and its unique ability toform a variety of hydrogen bonds with peptide backbones.Common computational methods fail to predict the delicatebalance of intramolecular interactions controlling the geome-try of the most stable conformer. The spectroscopic data herereported can be used to benchmark novel computationalmethods in quantum chemistry. spa info:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccess Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
