Abstract

The conventional determination of the amino‐acid sequence of the peptide antibiotic Ro 09‐0198 was prevented by four cyclizations via side chains. The joint application of NMR spectroscopy at highest field and automated Edman degradation yielded a complete determination of the connectivity pattern. The three‐dimensional structure derived from NOE data exhibits an interesting separation of amino acids with hydrophilic and hydrophobic side chains.
