This chapter examines the structural characterisation of isolated neutral amino-acids and peptides. After a presentation of the experimental and theoretical state-of-the-art in the field, a review of the major structures and shaping interactions is presented. Special focus is made on conformationally-resolved studies which enable one to go beyond simple structural characterisation; probing flexibility and excited-state photophysics are given as examples of promising future directions.
