The invention relates to the field of
biomedicine, and provides an application of a
Gram-negative bacterium infection target Kdo in research and development of antibacterial drugs. An authorized
antibacterial peptide Ly (PEG)-1 is used as a probe; through
computer simulation, affinity determination and
gene defect strain identification, the key action target is
lipopolysaccharide (LPS) internal core Kdo (3-deoxy-D-
mannan-
octanone acid), Kdo is used as a key component of
bacteria LPS and is a basis for maintaining
Gram-negative
bacteria cell wall integrity, LPS
biosynthesis and
biological activity exertion, and the Kdo is used as a key component of
bacteria LPS. The deletion or modification can directly cause the loss of LPS function and the reduction of the viability of bacteria. At present, no
antibacterial drug aiming at the target spot exists, the problem that in the prior art, no
biomolecule capable of targeting Kdo to exert strong
antibacterial activity exists is solved, and the
biomolecule can be used for developing drugs for diagnosing or treating related diseases.
