Abstract

X-ray crystallographic investigations on cyclo-L-cystine show that the diketo-piperazine ring is in a twisted boat form and the C-S-S-C bridge across the Cα atoms has a negative chirality with X3 angle of - 94°. The two peptides are significantly nonplanar with the ω values of - 10° and - 16°. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group P212121 with a = 11.216(4), b = 12.874(4), c = 5.978(3) and Z = 4. The structure was solved by heavy atom method and refined to an R index of 0.065.
