Abstract excerpt
The mechanism through which apidaecin (GNNRPVYIPQPRPPHPRL) like proline rich, non-helical, antibacterial peptides penetrate into the bacterial cells is not yet clearly understood. To comprehend their transport across the bacterial cells, a detailed structure-activity correlation of apidaecin and its selected analogs is undertaken. In membrane like environment apidaecin exhibits a structural change which is...
