The Effect of Calcium and Halide Ions on the Gramicidin A Molecular State and Antimicrobial Activity

The Effect of Calcium and Halide Ions on the Gramicidin A Molecular State and Antimicrobial Activity

Gramicidin A (gA) forms several convertible conformations in different environments. In this study, we investigated the effect of calcium halides on the molecular state and antimicrobial activity of gramicidin A. The molecular state of gramicidin A is highly affected by the concentration of calcium...
