All peptides were prepared with C-terminal amides and N-terminal acetyl groups, except for peptide 2 which was prepared with an N-terminal pentynyl group (denoted pa-) as shown in Fig. 5. Sulfur-containing amino acids capable of participating in macrocyclization reactions are shown in bold. Observed m/z are reported as major peaks from MALDI mass spectra.
