Abstract

Peptides, such as calcitonin, having two cysteine residues connected by a disulfide bond are prepared by a process which includes the step of cyclizing the cysteines at a pH of 8.5 to 9.0, and a concentration of 0.4 to 1.8 mg of peptide per ml of solution. These novel conditions produce rapid cyclization with an unforeseen improvement in yield.
