DRAMP02275

Comments Information

    • MOA

    • The mature peptide inserts into the hydrophobic core of the bacterial cell membrane and increases permeability without disrupting membrane integrity. Probably binds to the outer membrane surface before aggregating to form transmembrane pores. Has hemolytic activity.
