The accumulation of D-amino acid-containing peptides is associated with age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and cataracts, while glycosylation is an important modification of proteins and plays a key role in improving the physicochemical properties of peptides and facilitating their regulation in biological systems. This study investigates the effects of glycosylation position, glycan number, and monosaccharide structure on the conformation and enzymatic degradation of D-amino acid-containing peptides, using KYNEtWRSED (5-t) as a model peptide and six monosaccharides as model glycans. The results demonstrated that glycosylation inhibited the enzymatic degradation of 5-t in the presence of most serine-like proteases. However, in the presence of chymotrypsin, glycosylation with modified monosaccharides (except for β-D-GalNAc) promoted the degradation of 5-t. Furthermore, glycosylation had no effect on the cleavage site of 5-t. Molecular docking analysis revealed that the hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions between the glycopeptide and chymotrypsin were markedly strengthened, likely serving as a key determinant of the enzymatic effects. Collectively, these findings highlight the potential of glycosylation to enhance the therapeutic and biomedical applications of D-amino acid-containing peptides in disease treatment and drug design.
