Abstract
The importance and diversity of the biological functions of cyclopeptides and the new possibilities for investigating this extensive class of peculiar and often intricately built natural compounds have made them an alluring object of ever-increasing study. Interest is at present centering on their stereo-chemical features, which is not surprising in view of the importance of spatial structure to the biological properties of peptides and proteins: the conformation-activity relations are the key to their mode of action. The limited conformational flexibility of the cyclopeptides, usually resulting in the existence of a relatively small number of well-defined preferential conformations, facilitates their theoretical and physicochemical conformational analysis in solution.
