Alanine anhydrides (Cyclo-(Ala-Ala)) are the simplest dipeptides that have two chiral centers and three diastereomers: Cyclo-(L-Ala-L-Ala), Cyclo-(D-Ala-D-Ala), and Cyclo-(L-Ala-D-Ala).Analysis of the epimerization of these peptides may throw light on the development of homochirality in proteins. We show that the epimerization rate of Cyclo-(L-Ala-L-Ala) and Cyclo-(D-Ala-D-Ala) is higher than that of Cyclo-(L-Ala-D-Ala), while the ring-opening rates of Cyclo-(L-Ala-L-Ala) and Cyclo-(D-Ala-D-Ala) arelower than that of Cyclo-(L-Ala-D-Ala) in basic aqueous solutions. The total reaction resulted in the preferred stability of Cyclo-(L-Ala-L-Ala) and Cyclo-(D-Ala-D-Ala) to Cyclo-(D-Ala-L-Ala).
丙氨酸酐(环-(丙-丙))是最简单的二肽,具有两个手性中心和三种非对映异构体:环-(L-丙-L-丙)、环-(D-丙-D-丙)和环-(L-丙-D-丙)。分析这些肽的差向异构化可能有助于揭示蛋白质中同手性的发展。我们表明,环-(L-丙-L-丙)和环-(D-丙-D-丙)的差向异构化速率高于环-(L-丙-D-丙),而在碱性水溶液中,环-(L-丙-L-丙)和环-(D-丙-D-丙)的环开裂速率低于环-(L-丙-D-丙)。总反应导致了环-(L-丙-L-丙)和环-(D-丙-D-丙)相对于环-(D-丙-L-丙)的优先稳定性。
