A contribution to the nomenclature of depsipeptides.
Depsipeptides, also called peptolides, are a class of peptidic compounds in which an amide bond has been replaced with an ester bond. The literature does not clearly display rules for the nomenclature of such compounds. Here a method is proposed to transcribe drawn depsipeptide structures in one-line text.
