Abstract excerpt
The membrane-permeabilizing two-peptide bacteriocin lactococcin G consists of two different peptides, LcnG-alpha and LcnG-beta. The bacteriocin contains several tryptophan and tyrosine residues and three putative helix-helix interacting GxxxG-motifs, G 7xxxG 11 and G 18xxxG 22 in LcnG-alpha and G 18xxxG 22 in LcnG-beta. The tryptophan and tyrosine residues and residues in the GxxxG-motifs were altered by...
