    • No cytotoxicity information found in the reference(s) presented

Structure Information

    • Linear/Cyclic

    • Cyclic (Stapled)

    • N-terminal Modification

    • Free

    • C-terminal Modification

    • Amidation

    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The Ⓚ (position: 11 and 15) in sequence indicates Nε-o-Ns-Nα-Fmoc-lysine before stapling. ②Ⓚ (11) and Ⓚ (15) are cross-linked by a (E)-but-2-enyl spacer employing the N-alkylation reaction.

    • Stereochemistry

    • L

    • Secondary Structure

    • Random coils in PBS.

    • Structure Description

    • ①All the peptides were random coils in PBS but displayed varied levels of α-helicity in the presence of 30 mM SDS. ②Other stapled peptides had an α-helix content ranging from 16 to 38%, but their antibacterial activity and proteolytic stability were quite similar.
