Problems solved by technology

However, at this stage, people do not have a deep understanding of the relationship between the structure and activity of self-assembled antimicrobial peptides. How to develop highly efficient and highly selective antibacterial drugs through the transformation and design of peptide molecules is also a difficult problem.

Abstract

The invention provides a self-assembled antimicrobial peptide and belongs to the field of self-assembled polypeptides. The antimicrobial peptide sequence is Nap‑Phe‑Phe‑Lys‑Pro‑Leu‑Gly‑Leu‑Ala‑Arg‑Lys (Nap is naphthyl, Phe is phenylalanine, Lys is lysine, Pro is proline , Leu is leucine, Gly is glycine, Ala is alanine, Arg is arginine) is a cationic amphipathic short peptide. The antimicrobial peptide of the present invention has good self-assembly ability, and its self-assembly behavior presents enzyme responsiveness; at the same time, the antimicrobial peptide has no effect on Gram-negative bacteria, human cells and animal cells in a specific concentration range (50-150 μM). Toxicity, it only has a strong selective killing ability against Gram-positive bacteria, that is, it has excellent antibacterial activity and selectivity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of self-assembled polypeptides, in particular to a cationic amphiphilic self-assembled antibacterial peptide. Background technique [0002] Since the discovery of penicillin, antibiotics have been a powerful weapon for humans to treat diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms. However, because traditional antibiotics mainly exert antibacterial effects by interfering with bacterial cell walls, DNA or protein biosynthesis, they are prone to produce drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria and suppress immune function, which seriously affect the therapeutic effect. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides are a class of small molecule polypeptides, generally consisting of no more than 60 amino acid residues. Most of these active peptides have the characteristics of strong alkalinity, thermal stability, and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, and have extensive inhibitory effects on ...
