Popis: Six tetrapeptides of amino acid sequence Ac-Cys-Pro-X-Cys-NHMe, where X=Asn, Gly, Ser, Phe, Val, and Aib, respectively, were synthesized, and the molecular structures of the cyclic forms of two of them (with X=Ser and Val, respectively) were determined by X-ray diffraction. These two cyclic peptides were found to adopt a type I β-turn conformation centered at Pro-X. The molecular structures of two of the cyclic peptides (withX=Gly and Ser, respectively) were examined by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy in aqueous solution
