Conformation of two somatostatin analogues in aqueous solution

Abstract
Cyclic-disulfide-containing analogues of somatostatin, Xaa1-Cys2-Xaa3-DTrp4-Lys6-Thr5-Xaa7-Xaa8 [Xaa1 = H or DPhe; Xaa3 = Phe or Tyr; Xaa7 = Cys, Me2DCys; Xaa7 = OH, Thr8 (OH) or Thr8NH2], were examined in aqueous solution by 1H-NMR spectroscopy and circular dichroism. The influence of the helical nature of the disulfide bridge and the presence of exocyclic residues on biological activity were investigated with particular care.
