Click chemistry is a powerful tool in constraining peptides into their active conformations. This chapter presents recent advancements involving the use of copper-catalyzed [3 + 2] azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC), better known as "click reaction" in the design and synthesis of cyclic peptide and cyclic peptidomimetic compounds. The usage of "click chemistry" reactions includes various topics: (a) mimicking peptide bonds; (b) synthesis of ordered structures; (c) ligation of peptidomimetic scaffolds; and most importantly in this chapter (d) cyclization of peptidomimetic scaffolds using the triazole ring as constraint of conformation.
