Isomerization of an antimicrobial peptide broadens antimicrobial spectrum to gram-positive bacterial pathogens.

Isomerization of an antimicrobial peptide broadens antimicrobial spectrum to gram-positive bacterial pathogens.

The branched M33 antimicrobial peptide was previously shown to be very active against Gram-negative bacterial pathogens, including multidrug-resistant strains. In an attempt to produce back-up molecules, we synthesized an M33 peptide isomer consisting of D-aminoacids (M33-D). This isomeric version s...
