Cyclic peptide

A cyclic peptide is a peptide whose chain forms a ring, either through a head-to-tail amide bond, a side-chain linkage, or a disulfide bridge. Cyclisation restricts flexibility, which often increases resistance to proteolytic enzymes and can improve binding selectivity in research assays. Cyclic peptides are prepared synthetically by on-resin or solution-phase ring-closure reactions.
