Complete nmr and CD studies of two cyclic tetrapeptides with disulfide bonds, Ac-L-Pen-L-Pro-D-Val-L-Cys-NH2 (1) and Ac-L-Cys-L-Pro-D-Val-L-Cys-NH2 (2) bonds have been carried out in different solvents to investigate the formation and stabilization of beta-turn structures and to determine the stereochemistry of the disulfide linkage. Both peptides have three-dimensional structures with a type II beta-turn, as derived from quantitative nuclear Overhauser effect data. The combined use of CD and nmr indicates that the dihedral angle of the disulfide bridge is different in the two peptides, although the chirality is maintained.
