Abstract
It has been suggested that the cis conformation about the TrpNMeNle amide bond is important in conferring high affinity and selectivity to CCK-B receptor ligands. Substitution of the cis amide bond mimic Trpψ(CH4)Nle into the peptide Gly-Trp-N-(Me)Nle-Asp-PheNH2 causes it to lose activity, suggesting that other structural effects of N-(Me)Nle incorporation may be important for high affinity selectivity for the CCK-B receptor.
