Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to the modification of polypeptides, specifically polyethylene glycol-modified cationic antimicrobial peptides. The polyethylene glycol-modified cationic antimicrobial peptides are self-assembled in aqueous media to form antimicrobial peptides as cores and polyethylene glycol as shells. bundle, thereby reducing the degradation of antimicrobial peptides by proteases. Background technique
[0002] In recent years, cationic antimicrobial peptides and their analogues have attracted great attention as a new generation of antibiotics against drug-resistant bacteria. Especially with the widespread use of traditional antibiotics, bacteria have gradually developed resistance to them, forcing people to constantly search for new antibiotics, cationic antimicrobial peptides are not easy to develop resistance to them due to the unique antibacterial mechanism of bacteria (M .Zasloff, Nature, 2002, 415, 389-395) and has received extensi...
