Structure-activity relationships of cecropin-like peptides and their interactions with phospholipid membrane

Cecropin A and papiliocin are novel 37-residue cecropin-likeantimicrobial peptides isolated from insect. We have confirmedthat papiliocin possess high bacterial cell selectivity and has anα-helical structure from Lys3 to Lys21 and from Ala25 to Val35,linked by a hinge region. In this study, we demon...
