Thirty-four novel α/β-tetrapeptides (1-34) have been prepared employing solid-phase and in-parallel synthetic protocols. α/β- Tetrapeptides 1-34 were prepared by a combination of three α-amino acid residues (alanine (Ala), phenylalanine (Phe), and isoleucine (Ile)) with one β-amino acid residue (β3-homophenylglycine). The corresponding complexes of several selected α/β-tetrapeptides with alkali, alkaline earth, and transition metals, [tP + M+], were evaluated using ion electrospray-ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). According to the results from analysis of mixtures, we can conclude that the position of the β-amino acid is determinant in the affinity toward different metal cations. Computational modeling (DFT, B3LYP 6-311++G) provided useful information regarding the most likely coordination sites of the metal ions on the receptor α/β-tetrapeptide 12, HO2C-α- Phe-α-Phe-α-Ile-β3-hPhg-NH2, as well as the conformational changes induced by the metal upon [tP + M+] complex formation.
