Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to an antibacterial peptide, especially a short peptide with a ring structure and only composed of 9 benzene rings and positively charged amino acids. The peptide has excellent antibacterial ability. Compared with other long peptides also composed of benzene rings and positively charged amino acids, this short peptide exhibits excellent antibacterial efficacy and low hemolytic activity. Background technique
[0002] The emergence of strains resistant to traditional antibiotics has spurred the search for novel therapeutic agents, including many antimicrobial peptides of animal origin. It is now found that these antimicrobial peptides play a very important role in the innate defense mechanism of some hosts, including plants, insects, amphibians and mammals. These peptides may also have antibiotic activity against bacteria, fungi, and even some viruses, which can bind lipids (greater than 95 percent), rapidly dissociate the lipid bi...
