Summary In order to investigate the proper peptide backbone conformation able to elicit a biological activity, HCO-Met-Pro-Phe-OMe, HCO-Met-Ψ[COO]Leu-Phe-OMe, and HCO-Met-OLeu-Phe-OMe, analogues of the prototypical chemotactic peptide HCO-Met-Leu-Phe-OMe, were studied by CD and IR techniques. The results obtained comparing biological and conformational data evidence the critical presence of (i) the NH group at position 2, (ii) a rather flexible backbone, (iii) the chemical structure of the central residue which can affect the stability of a possible active conformer.
