Dear David,

Thanks for your advice.
Although I see that capping with NME instead of OMe will not be very
different.
Actually I am trying to reproduce an experimental observation, where such a
model peptide was used.
Hence I thought to remain strict on that.

Thank you again.

Regards,
Pallab Dutta
