Β-多肽

β-丙氨酸，β氨基酸的一个例子。氨基不是连接到α碳而是连接到β碳，在这种情况下是亚甲基。

β-多肽（β-peptide）或 beta-多肽，是由β-氨基酸聚合而成的多肽。母体β-氨基酸是H₂NCH₂CH₂COOH，但大多数的情况下，取代基取代了一个或多个CH键。唯一常见的天然存在的β氨基酸是β-丙氨酸。自然界中一般不存在β-多肽。基于β肽的抗生素有潜力作为防止产生抗生素耐药性的方法^[1]，1996年由迪特·泽巴赫小组^[1]和Samuel H. Gellman（德语：Samuel H. Gellman）小组^[2]发表相关的早期研究。

合成

存在两种类型的β-多肽：胺旁边具有有机残基(R)的称为β³-多肽，而在羰基旁边具有有机残基(R)的称为β²-多肽^[3]。

β-氨基酸可以通过多种途径制备^[4]^[5]，包括通过阿恩特－艾斯特尔特合成方法合成。

二级结构

因为β-多肽比正常肽的骨架长，所以β-多肽会形成不同的二级结构。 β-氨基酸中α和β位的烷基取代基有利于α-碳和β-碳之间的键的左旋构象，同时也会影响结构的热力学稳定性。

由β-多肽组成的许多类型的螺旋结构有许多报道。这些构象可以通过在溶液中形成的氢键环中的原子数进行分类：8-螺旋、10-螺旋、12-螺旋、14-螺旋^[6]和10、12-螺旋。一般来说，β-肽比α-肽可以形成更稳定的螺旋^[7]。

临床应用潜力

β-肽在体外和体内对蛋白酶解稳定，较天然肽有潜在优势^[8]。β-多肽可以用于模拟天然多肽所衍生的抗生素，它们非常有效但因会被蛋白水解酶降解而难以用作药物，例如馬蓋寧^[9]。

列表

存在8种β结构存在：丙氨酸、亮氨酸、赖氨酸、精氨酸、谷氨酸、谷氨酰胺、苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸的形式^[10]。天冬氨酸可以认为同时具有β形式和α形式，尽管β形式存在于微囊藻毒素中 ^[10]。
