The C-Terminal Phenylalanine of the Thanatin-like Peptide Rip-2 Contributes to Its Enhanced LptA-Associated Antimicrobial Activity Compared with Thanatin
The proteins of the lipopolysaccharide transport (Lpt) complex have emerged as promising targets for thanatin-like antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) active against Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we investigated the molecular features associated with the enhanced antibacterial activity of the thanatin-like peptide Rip-2 from...
