Stapled peptides derived from the Ugi macrocyclization comprise a special class of cyclopeptides with an N-substituted lactam bridge cross-linking two amino acid side chains. Herein we report a comprehensive analysis of the structural factors influencing the secondary structure of these cyclic peptides in solution. Novel insights into the s-cis/s-trans isomerism and the effect of N-functionalization on the conformation are revealed.
