Naturally occurring metalloproteins contain metal ions either to introduce a special reactivity or to stabilize a peptide structure. Since the early 1990s, chemists have been trying to use metal coordination for the fixation of short artificial peptides in well-defined cyclic structures. In this tutorial review a survey of the general approaches towards metallacyclopeptides as small cyclic peptide derivatives or as a part of a bigger alpha-helix (or beta-sheet) structure is given. In three case studies it is shown how naturally occurring compounds can be mimicked by metal coordination to non-natural peptide derivatives.
