Cyclic octapeptides, cyclo(X‐Pro) 4 , where X represents Phe, Leu, or Lys(Z), were synthesized and their conformations investigated. A C 2 ‐symmetric conformer containing two cis peptide bonds was found in all of these cyclic octapeptides. The numbers of available conformations due to the cis – trans isomerization of Pro peptide bonds depended on the nature of the solvent and X residue: they decreased in the following order: cyclo[Lys(Z)‐Pro] 4 > cyclo(Leu‐Pro) 4 > cyclo(Phe‐Pro) 4 in CDCl 3 . 13 C spin‐lattice relaxation times ( T 1 ) of these cyclic octapeptides were measured, and the contribution of segmental mobility to T 1 was found to vary with the nature of the X residue.
