    • Comments

    • Function: Antibacterial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Antifungal activity against Candida albicans is not noteable under 100 μM.
    • Target Organism

      • [Ref.22526241] Gram-positive bacteria: Micrococcus luteus (MIC = 1.3 μM), Bacillus subtilis (MIC = 1.2 μM), Staphylococcus aureus (MIC ≥ 100 μM);
      • Gram-negative bacteria: E.coli (MIC = 46.7 μM), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (MIC > 100 μM);
      • Fungi: Candida albicans (MIC > 100 μM).
    • Hemolytic Activity

      • [Ref.22526241] LC50 = 13.9 μM. Note: LC50 is the concentration of a peptide able to lyse 50% of human erthrocytes in the assay.

    • Amidation
    • Special Amino Acid and Stapling Position

    • ①The J (position: 14) in sequence indicates norleucine. ②Ⓧ (position: 5, 9, 13 and 17) are 2-(4'-pentenyl) alanine in the S configuration. ③Ⓧ (5) and Ⓧ (9), Ⓧ (13) and Ⓧ (17) are cross-linked by hydrocarbon stapling respectively.

    • Secondary Structure

    • ①34% α-helical content in water.②56% α-helical content in 50% TFE. ③48% α-helical content in 8mM SDS.
    • Structure Description

    • On the other hand, the difference in α-helical content between doubly stapled analogs (LL-IIIs-4, MEP-Ns-3, MEP-Ns-5, and MEP-Ns-6) and their unstapled precursors is apparently higher, on average by 15 %
