Revised Manuscript Received December 2, 1986 abstract: Two-dimensional proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 500 MHz has been carried out on the cyclic decapeptide antagonist of gonadotropin-releasing hormone: cyc/o-(A3*-Prol-D-pClPhe2-D-Trp3-Ser4-Tyr5-D-Trp6-NMeLeu7-Arg8-Pro9-/3-Alal0). The antagonist exists in two slowlyinterconverting conformations. All data are consistent with the conclusion that one form has all-trans peptide bonds and the other has a cis/3-AlalO-A3-Prol bond. With the use of sequential assignment methods, chemical shift assignments were obtained for all backbone and side-chain protons of both conformational isomers except for the serine and tyrosine hydroxyl groups and the C7, C5, and guanidinium group protons of the arginine. Temperature dependence of spectral parameters and magnitudes of observed nuclear Overhauser effects support the interpretation that both conformers of the antagonist consist of two/3-turns (type IT, D-Trp6-NMeLeu7; type II, A3-Prol-D-pClPhe2) connectedby extended antiparallel/3-like strands.Clonadotropin-releasing hormone, pGlul-His2-Trp3-Ser4-Tyr5-Gly6-Leu7-Arg8-Pro9-Glyl0-NH2, is a linear decapeptide hormone that is secreted by the hypothalamus and acts on the pituitary gland where it stimulates therelease of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. These hormones in turn act at the gonads as regulators of ovulation or spermatogenesis (Vander et al., 1970; Matsuo et al., 1971; Burgus et al., 1972). Hence, GnRH1 has been a target of analogue design for potential reproductive therapy or con-traceptive agents (Vickery et al., 1984; Karten & Rivier, 1986). While many of these analogues are highly active either as antagonists or superagonists, in most cases their design has not been based on conformational principles. Relatively little is known of the structural requirements of the hormone and its analogues for receptor binding. Like many peptide hormones, GnRH is a highly flexible molecule that exists in solution as an equilibrium mixture of several conformers (Sprecher & Momany, 1979; Kopple, 1981a, b, 1983). Nonetheless, working models for its preferred conformation that may coincide with its receptor-bound con-formation have emerged. A feature common to most models of GnRH is a/3-turn at Gly6-Leu7, originally suggested by Momany from empirical conformational energy calculations (Momany, 1976a, b). Supportfor the presence of this turn in the bioactive conformation of GnRH comes from the activities of analogues with D-amino acid substitutions for Gly6 (Chandrasekaren et al., 1973; Monahan et al., 1973), an analogue with an A-methylleucine for Leu7 (Ling & Vale, 1975; Tonelli, 1976), and a lactam-bridged analogue that forces the f angle of Gly6 and the f angle of Leu7 to values characteristic of a/3-turn (Freidinger et al., 1980). Recently, active analogues of GnRH that are conformationally constrained via cyclization have been synthesized. A cyclic hexapeptide, o’c/o-(Tyr-D-Trp-Leu-Arg-Trp-Pro), while
