β-多肽

β-丙胺酸，β胺基酸的一個例子。胺基不是連接到α碳而是連接到β碳，在這種情況下是亞甲基。

β-多肽（ Beta-多肽）是由β-胺基酸聚合而成的多肽。母體β-胺基酸是H₂NCH₂CH₂COOH，但大多數的情況下，取代基取代了一個或多個CH鍵。唯一常見的天然存在的β胺基酸是β-丙胺酸。自然界中一般不存在β-多肽。基於β肽的抗生素有潛力作為防止產生抗生素耐藥性的方法，^[1]1996年由Dieter Seebach ^[1]小組和 Samuel Gellman 小組於發表相關的早期研究。 ^[2]

合成

存在兩種類型的β-多肽：胺旁邊具有有機殘基(R)的稱為β³-多肽，而在羰基旁邊具有有機殘基(R)的稱為β²-多肽。 ^[3]

β-胺基酸可以通過多種途徑製備，^[4] ^[5]包括通過Arndt-Eistert方法合成。

二級結構

因為β-多肽比正常肽的骨架長，所以β-多肽會形成不同的二級結構。 β-胺基酸中α和β位的烷基取代基有利於α-碳和β-碳之間的鍵的左旋構象，同時也會影響結構的熱力學穩定性。

由β-多肽組成的許多類型的螺旋結構有許多報道。這些構象可以通過在溶液中形成的氫鍵環中的原子數進行分類：8-螺旋、10-螺旋、12-螺旋、14-螺旋、^[6]和10、12-螺旋。一般來說，β-肽比α-肽可以形成更穩定的螺旋。 ^[7]

臨床應用潛力

β-肽在體外和體內對蛋白酶解穩定，較天然肽有潛在優勢。 ^[8] β-多肽可以用於模擬天然多肽所衍生的抗生素，它們非常有效但因會被蛋白水解酶降解而難以用作藥物，例如馬蓋寧。 ^[9]

列表

存在8種β結構存在：丙胺酸、亮胺酸、賴胺酸、精胺酸、麩胺酸、麩醯胺酸、苯丙胺酸、酪胺酸的形式。 ^[10]天冬胺酸可以認為同時具有β形式和α形式，儘管β形式存在於微囊藻毒素中。 ^[10]
