Conformational analysis of Door Storage two tachykinin family peptides: Scyliorhinin I (Seyl) and Scyliorhinin II (Scyll) was carried out by 1D- and 2D NMR (DQF-COSY, TOCSY, HMQC, HMBC, NOESY and ROESY) and molecular dynamics calculation methods in water and DMSO.Scyliorhinin I is a equipment agonist ofNK-1 and NK-2 taehykinin receptors and Scyliorhinin II is a selective agonist of NK-3 tachykinin receptor.In DMSO, two groups of conformations (major and minor) were obtained for both peptides based on the experimental data.The conformations proposed for Scyl represent a folded structure, which show certain similarities to the structures reported for other Oven Handle Ends NK.

-1 and NK-2 taehykinin agonists.In water Scyl I displays a flexible, extended structure, whereas in DMSO the structure is more compact and in the fragment from centre to the C-terminus several [3-tums may be present.
