Chinese term or phrase: 环状13 元B-氨基酸肽链
This is from an article on chemical engineering of a drug. The full context is: "...他由Streptomyces roseosporus 发酵得到, 结构单元为N-末端色氨酸连接有癸酰基的环状13 元B-氨基酸肽链。“ I am at a total loss as to how to translate this. Can you help?
Thank you!

cyclic 13-membered β-amino acid peptide chain


Explanation:
1. "环状" should be translated as "cyclic";
2. "元" should be translated as "member", and this is very common in the translation of organic compounds, such as the "six-membered aromatic ring"(六元芳香环)or "five membered heterocyclic compound"(五元杂环化合物);
3. "B" here refers to "β", and this is the same with Hamish Young;
4. "氨基酸肽链" should be translated as "amino acid peptide chain"
