title: [Structural organization of alpha-melanotropin molecules].
abstract: Using a semi-empirical method, and a priori conformational analysis of the tridecapeptide alpha-melanocyte-stimulating (alpha-MSH) was carried out. The spatial structure of alpha-MSH can be described by ten low-energy conformations. Calculations produced the values of all dihedral angles of the backbones and side chains of these forms as well as intra- and inter-residue interaction energies.
