    • Cytotoxicity

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

Structure Information

    • Linear/Cyclic

    • Cyclic (Stapled)

    • N-terminal Modification

    • Acetylation

    • C-terminal Modification

    • Amidation

    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The Ⓧ (position: 2 and 6) in sequence indicates (S)-α-methyl, α-pentenylglycine. Note: the Experimental section presenst that X is (S)-α-methyl, α-pentenylglycine, while the Results section presents that X is pentenylalanine. We incline to the former representation according to previous papers published by the research group which the author belonged. ②Ⓧ (2) and Ⓧ (6) are cross-linked by hydrocarbon stapling through an oct-4-enyl hydrocarbon staple.

    • Stereochemistry

    • L

    • Secondary Structure

    • α-helix in 25 mM potassium phosphate buffer solution (pH 6.5)

    • Structure Description

    • As expected, in the far ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) experiment, the stapled heptapeptides displayed enhanced helical contents compared to their corresponding unstapled counterparts.
