Abstract
Many classes of functional cyclic peptide molecules are determined by experimental techniques, but few similarities of cyclic peptides are detectable. We propose three numerical characterizations of conformations of cyclic peptides. By incorporating the information on atomic coordinates of cyclic peptides, the coordinates are transformed into a characteristic sequence. Then we calculate its center of gravity, the eigenvalues of its Euclidean and L/L matrices, and regard them as descriptors to numerically characterize the conformations of cyclic peptides. Finally, the method is tested by analyzing the similarities of cyclic peptides presented in Table 1. Β© 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2007

## Abstract Systematic __N__βmethylation of all peptide bonds in the cyclic pentapeptide cyclo(βDβAlaβAla~4~β) has been performed yielding 30 different __N__βmethylated derivatives, of which only seven displayed a single conformation on the NMR time scale. The conformation of these differentially _
The distance geometry algorithm as embodied in the program DGEOM was examined as a method for searching cyclic peptide conformations. Conformations were randomly generated using covalent distance and chirality constraints, but torsion angle rather than distance sampling was used for 1,4 relationship
