    • Comments

    • Function: Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

    • Target Organism

      • [Ref.28921993] Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus (MIC > 256 μg/mL), Enterococcus faecalis (MIC > 256 μg/mL);
      • Gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli (MIC > 256 μg/mL), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC > 256 μg/mL)

    • Hemolytic Activity

      • [Ref.28921993] It has 0.4%, 0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.1%, 0.7%, 1.8% and 5.6% hemolysis against human red blood cells at 5, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40 μg/ml.

    • Cytotoxicity

      • [Ref.28921993] The toxicity of sKFGF toward HEK293 and HeLa cells is much less than nonaarginine (R9) by use of flow cytometry and the peptide doesn't show any cytotoxicity at 2 μM.

    • Amidation

    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • Ⓚ (3) and Ⓓ (7) are cross-linked by lactam stapling through the polar amide bond of a lactam bridge.

    • Stereochemistry

    • L

    • Secondary Structure

    • ①Disordered (or unstructured) conformation in aqueous solutions [pure water (H₂O), phosphate buffer (PB, 10 mM), and phosphate buffer with high salt (NaF, 100 mM)]. ②Around 22% average α-helix content in various membranes environments [13% in POPC; 32% in

    • Structure Description

    • In the cases of sDRIM and sKFGF, stapling did not induce any conformational change, as these analogues remained just as unstructured.
