Biophysical Studies of TOAC Analogs of the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha Antimicrobial Peptide Using Liposomes
(2022-06-01)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are innate components of the defense system of many forms of life, composing the first line of defense from invading pathogens. Among many AMPs described in several databases, the Ctx(Ile21)-Ha ...
Study of the antimicrobial peptide indolicidin and a mutant in micelle medium by molecular dynamics simulation
(FUNPEC-EDITORA, 2008)
The antimicrobial peptide indolicidin (IND) and the mutant CP10A in hydrated micelles were studied using molecular dynamics simulations in order to observe whether the molecular dynamics and experimental data could be ...
Study of the antimicrobial peptide indolicidin and mutants in eukaryotic modelled membrane by molecular dynamics simulations
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011)
In this work the interaction of the antimicrobial peptide indolicidin (IND) and its mutants CP10A and CP11 with a eukaryotic membrane model was examined by molecular dynamics simulations. The aim was to analyse the behaviour ...
Interaction of a synthetic antimicrobial peptide with model membrane by fluorescence spectroscopy
(Springer, 2013-12-01)
Static and time-resolved fluorescence of tryptophan and ortho-aminobenzoic acid was used to investigate the interaction of the synthetic antimicrobial peptide L1A (IDGLKAIWKKVADLLKNT-NH2) with POPC and POPC:POPG. N-acetylated ...
Monitoring the positioning of short polycationic peptides in model lipid bilayers by combining hydrogen/deuterium exchange and electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
(Elsevier B.V., 2008-12-01)
Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was used to analyze the hydrogen/deuterium exchange properties of the mastoparan peptide Apoica-MP during interactions with lipid vesicle membranes. Synthetic peptide was ...
Jelleines: a family of antimicrobial peptides from the Royal Jelly of honeybees (Apis mellifera)
(Elsevier B.V., 2004-06-01)
Four antimicrobial peptides were purified from Royal Jelly of honeybees, by using reverse phase-HPLC and sequenced by using Q-Tof-MS/MS: PFKLSLHL-NH2 (Jelleine-I), TPFKLSLHL-NH2 (Jelleine-II), EPFKLSLHL-NH2 (Jelleine-III), ...
Study of the mechanism of action of anoplin, a helical antimicrobial decapeptide with ion channel-like activity, and the role of the amidated C-terminus
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2008-06-01)
Anoplin, an antimicrobial, helical decapeptide from wasp venom, looses its biological activities by mere deamidation of its C-terminus. Secondary structure determination, by circular dichroism spectroscopy in amphipathic ...
The effect of acidic residues and amphipathicity on the lytic activities of mastoparan peptides studied by fluorescence and CD spectroscopy
(Springer, 2011-01-01)
Some mastoparan peptides extracted from social wasps display antimicrobial activity and some are hemolytic and cytotoxic. Although the cell specificity of these peptides is complex and poorly understood, it is believed ...
Purification and characterization of an antimicrobial peptide produced by Pseudomonas sp strain 4B
(SPRINGER, 2009)
An antimicrobial peptide produced by a bacterium isolated from the effluent pond of a bovine abattoir was purified and characterized. The strain was characterized by biochemical profiling and 16S rDNA sequencing as Pseudomonas ...
Antimicrobial activity of de novo designed cationic peptides against multi-resistant clinical isolates
(Elsevier Masson, 2013-11)
Antibiotic resistance is one of the main problems concerning public health or clinical practice. Antimicrobial peptides appear as good candidates for the development of new therapeutic drugs. In this study we de novo ...
