Popis: Cyclic peptides are a fascinating class of molecules that can be programmed to fold or self-assemble into diverse mono- and multidimensional structures with potential applications in biomedicine, nanoelectronics, or catalysis. Herein we describe on-resin procedures to carry out head-to-tail peptide cyclization based on orthogonal protected linear structures. We also present essential characterization tools for obtaining dynamic and structural information, including the visualization cyclic peptide assembly into nanotubes (AFM, TEM) as well as the use of fluorescence microscopy.
