    • Comments

    • Function: Antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria. No experiments about antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria are recorded.

    • Target Organism

      • [Ref.29275987] Gram-negative bacteria: E. coli (MIC= 1.6 μM)

    • Hemolytic Activity

      • [Ref.29275987] MHC = 15 μM against human red blood cells. Note: Minimum hemolytic concentration (MHC) is the minimum peptide concentration at which red blood cells undergo > 2% hemolysis.

    • Cytotoxicity

    • 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: 10 and 14) in sequence indicates 2-(4'-pentenyl) alanine. ②Ⓧ (10) and Ⓧ (14) are cross-linked by hydrocarbon stapling.

    • Stereochemistry

    • L

    • Secondary Structure

    • Lack of significant structure

    • Structure Description

    • Substitutions with polar, known 'helix-breaker' Gly residues led to losses in helical character until finally the peptide containing 3 Gly and 1 Asn (S-6K-F17-3GN) shows a severe loss in helical structure
