    • No cytotoxicity information found in the reference(s) presented
    • Linear/Cyclic

    • Cyclic (Stapled)
    • N-terminal Modification

    • Free
    • C-terminal Modification

    • Amidation
    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The Ⓧ (position: 6 and 10) indicates 2-(4'-pentenyl) alanine in the S configuration. ②Ⓧ (6) and Ⓧ (10) are cross-linked by hydrocarbon stapling.
    • Stereochemistry

    • L
    • Secondary Structure

    • ①20% α-helical content in water. ②55% α-helical content in 50% TFE. ③55% α-helical content in 8mM SDS.
    • Structure Description

    • It seems that the staple in the central part of the LL-IIIs-1 analog that crosslink the bend of the α-helix on its concave site around the Gly8 residue resulted in slight helix destabilization.
