Abstract

Abstract: Invited for the cover of this issue is the group of Kouhei Matsui and Satoshi Shuto at Shionogi & Co., Ltd. and at Hokkaido University. The image depicts the cyclopropane tethers with three‐dimensional structural diversity that are able to remarkably change the conformation and physicochemical properties of cyclic peptides due to the characteristic steric feature of cyclopropane.

Abstract : " This study demonstrates that by introducing highly constrained cyclopropane tethers, cell‐membrane‐permeable cyclic peptides, which are conformationally dependent, can be obtained ."
