Abstract

The conformation flexibility of the tetradecapeptide hormone bombesin and its synthetic antagonist (DPhe12, Leu14)-bombesin has been studied using nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichroism techniques. The spectral features observed indicate that the ordered structure present in the C-terminal pentapeptide moiety of native BBS is lost in the (DPhe12, Leu14) analog.
