✦ Synopsis


X‐ray diffraction data were used to determine the crystal structure of cyclo‐(l‐Val‐l‐Pro‐Gly)~4~, the cyclic tetramer of a repeat tripeptide of elastin. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C2, with a = 29.639(3), b = 7.099(1), c = 20.325 (2) Γ…, and Ξ² = 130.4(4)Β°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by least squares to R = 0.082 for 2603 observed reflections. The cyclic dodecapeptide contains two Ξ²(II) turns. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic channels that run parallel to the b axis are formed by the stacking of cyclic peptides on twofold axes.
