The crystal and molecular structures of cycZo-(glycyl-L-tyrosyl)(cycfo-(Gly-L-Tyr)) and cyclo-(L-seryl-L-tyrosyl)(cycZo-(L-Ser-L-Tyr)) monohydrate were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Both peptides are in the foldedconformation (1= 55), with the aromatic ringin the tyrosine side chain facing the diketopiperazine ring. This finding is in agreement with proton magnetic resonance and molecular orbital studies of a number of cyclic dipeptides containing arylmethyl side chains. In cycZo-(Gly-L-Tyr), the diketopiperazine ring assumes a boat conformation with the Ca-C5 bond in a quasi-axial “flagpole” position, but in cyc/o-(L-Ser-L-Tyr), this ring is nearly planar with the a carbons deviating about 0.2 Á from the least-squares plane through the two peptide bonds. Analysis of presently available crystallographic and nmr cyclic dipeptide data indicates that, in general, the diketopiperazine ring favors a conformation which maximizesthe diketopiperazine-aromaticring attractive interaction without allowing steric interference between side chains. Crystals of cycZo-(Gly-L-Tyr) are orthorhombic, space group P2\2J.\with a= 7.775±0.003, b= 21.475±0.001, c= 6.170±0.001 Á, and Z= 4. The crystals of cycZo-(L-Ser-L-Tyr) are monoclinic, space group P2U with a= 11.445±0.002, b- 6.191±0.001, c= 8.828±0.001 A, 8= 99.10±0.01, andZ= 2. The X-ray intensity data were collected with a four circle diffractometer and refined byleast-squares procedures to an R factor of 9.9% for the former compound and 5.3% for the latter.The current interest in conformations of cyclic di-peptides (2, 5-piperazinediones) began with the discovery, through proton magnetic resonance studies, that an arylmethyl side chain prefers the folded con-formation with the aromatic ring facing the diketopiperazine (DKP) ring. 2-4 Since the attractive force between these two ringswhich stabilizes this conforma-tion may play a role in molecules of biological interest, we have sought X-ray crystallographic evidence for the
