Fatty Acid Conjugation Leads to Length-Dependent Antimicrobial Activity of a Synthetic Antibacterial Peptide (Pep19-4LF)

Fatty Acid Conjugation Leads to Length-Dependent Antimicrobial Activity of a Synthetic Antibacterial Peptide (Pep19-4LF)

The increasing number of infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria requires an intensified search for new antibiotics. Pep19-4LF is a synthetic antimicrobial peptide (GKKYRRFRWKFKGKLFLFG) that was previously designed with the main focus on high antimicrobial activity. The hydrophobic motif,...
