Comments Information

    • The results indicate that the outmost eight-amino acid sequence at the C-terminal end is likely to contain the receptor binding domain. Alanine substitution revealed that the tryptophan in position 25 (Trp25) is crucial for the blocking activity of the truncated peptides, as well as for the antimicrobial activity of the full-length bacteriocin.
