Phenylalanine residues act as membrane anchors in the antimicrobial action of Aurein 1.2
Abstract
Aurein 1.2 is a small cationic antimicrobial peptide, one of the shortest peptides that can exert antimicrobial activity at low micromolar concentrations. Aurein 1.2 is a surface acting peptide, following the “carpet” mechanism of thresholded membrane disruption. It is generally assumed that the activity of such cationic α-helical membrane disrupting peptides is charge driven. Here, the authors show that instead of charge interactions, aromatic...
