Activity Information

    • Biological Activity

    • Antimicrobial, Antibacterial, Anti-Gram+, Anti-Gram-

    • Comments

    • Function: Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is a helical foldmer peptide based on "Stripe" (an AMP manually designed) by introducing a hydrocarbon stapling. The peptide showed weaker activity than Stripe.

    • Target Organism

      • [Ref.33369262] Gram-positive bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus NBRC13276 (MIC = 25 μM) ;
      • Gram-negative bacteria: Escherichia coli DH5α (MIC = 6.25 μM), Pseudomonas aeruginosa NBRC13275 (MIC = 12.5 μM), multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCCBAA-2111 (MDRP) (MIC = 25 μM)

    • Hemolytic Activity

      • [Ref.33369262] It exhibits hemolysis at 1.56 μM agasint human red blood cells.

    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The Ⓩ (position: 6) in sequence denotes (R)-(7-octenyl)alanine. ②The Ⓧ (position: 13) in sequence denotes (S)-(4-pentenyl)alanine. ③ Ⓩ (6) and Ⓧ (13) are cross-linked by side-stapling through a undec-4-enyl staple.

    • Stereochemistry

    • L

    • Secondary Structure

    • α-Helix content = 34% in 20 mM phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution (pH 7.4), with 1% sodium dodecyl sulfate

    • Structure Description

    • [Ref.33369262] As shown in Figure 2, peptides 2, 3, 4 and 5 showed negative maxima at around 208 and 222nm, which suggests that they formed stable α-helical structures, similar to Stripe.
