Thehydrationpatterninthesecondcasecouldnotbefoundat4(R)Hypduetothelackofhydrogenattheamidegroup.
However,hydrationpatternsintherstandthethirdcases,whichareinter-andintra-chainhydrogenbondnetworks,aregenerallyobservedat4(R)HypintheYaapositioninthepeptidesincludingPro-4(R)Hyp-Glytripeptideunit.

16,17Thus,thisresultindicatesthattheOHgroupofThrintheYaapositionpartici-patesinwater-mediatedinter-andintra-chainhydro-genbondsinthesimilarwaytotheOHgroupof4(R)Hyp.
Moreover,thepositionoftheOHgroupofThrislocatedclosetothatof4(R)HypwhenThrintheOTGstructureissuperimposedoverthe4(R)Hypinthe(Pro-4(R)Hyp-Gly)11structure(Figure3).
Thedistancebetweenbothhydroxyloxygenatomsisabout1A.
ThecloselocationoftheOHgroupsofThrto4(R)Hypcouldcontributetothesimilarforma-tionofwater-mediatedhydrogenbonds.
Therefore,theOTGstructuredemonstratesthatThrcouldactlike4(R)HypatOHgroupside-chaintomakesimilarwater-mediatednetworks.
