The membrane activity of the amphibian Temporin B peptide analog TB_KKG6K sheds light on the mechanism that kills <i>Candida albicans</i>

2022-06-15

Abstract excerpt

Temporin B (TB) is a 13 amino acid long, cationic peptide secreted by the granular glands of the European frog Rana temporaria . We could recently show that the modified TB peptide analog TB_KKG6K rapidly killed planktonic and sessile Candida albicans at low µM concentrations and was neither hemolytic nor cytotoxic to mammalian cells in vitro . The present study aimed to shed light into its mechanism of action,...
