Mechanism of supported membrane disruption by antimicrobial peptide protegrin-1.
While pore formation has been suggested as an important step in the membrane disruption process induced by antimicrobial peptides, membrane pore formation has never been directly visualized. We report on the dynamics of membrane disruption by antimicrobial peptide protegrin-1 (PG-1) on dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine-supported bilayer patches obtained via atomic force microscopy. The acti...
متن کاملPeptide array based discovery of synthetic antimicrobial peptides
ANTIMICROBIAL PEPTIDES AS A MEANS TO COMBAT ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE The rise of antibiotic resistance has emphasized the shortcomings in antibiotic drug development (Boucher et al., 2013). The move from biological based discovery methods to chemical approaches to identify candidates has left the antibiotic pipeline painfully dry (Lewis, 2013). The paucity of compounds that are effective against a...
متن کاملActivity of Synthetic Antimicrobial Peptide GH12 against Oral Streptococci.
Controlling the growth of cariogenic microorganisms such as oral streptococci is an adjunct therapy for caries-active individuals to prevent and treat caries. Here we investigated the antimicrobial activity of the synthetic amphipathic α- helical antimicrobial peptide GH12 (GLLWHLLHHLLH-NH2) against oral streptococci in vitro. Circular dichroism studies showed that GH12 takes on an α-helical co...
متن کاملStructurally plastic peptide capsules for synthetic antimicrobial viruses.
A conceptual design for artificial antimicrobial viruses is described. The design emulates viral assembly and function to create self-assembling peptide capsules that promote efficient gene delivery and silencing in mammalian cells. Unlike viruses, however, the capsules are antimicrobial, which allows them to exhibit a dual biological function: gene transport and antimicrobial activity. Unlike ...
متن کاملSynthetic Mimic of Antimicrobial Peptide with Nonmembrane-Disrupting Antibacterial Properties
Polyguanidinium oxanorbornene ( PGON) was synthesized from norbornene monomers via ring-opening metathesis polymerization. This polymer was observed to be strongly antibacterial against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria as well as nonhemolytic against human red blood cells. Time-kill studies indicated that this polymer is lethal and not just bacteriostatic. In sharp contrast to previousl...
