Product Description
Cecropins are the first animal antimicrobial peptides discovered, with spectral antibacterial effects. Such peptides are generally composed of 35-39 amino acids, and the sequence generally does not contain cysteine. At the same time, the N-terminus of the sequence contains many basic amino acids, so it will show a relatively strong basicity and exhibit an amphiphilic helical structure in structure. ; At the C-terminus of the sequence contains a lot of hydrophobic amino acids, forming a hydrophobic helix, between two different helices, the combination of proline and glycine to form a hinge region, increasing the elasticity of the structure.Cecropin B (free acid) is a 35 peptide with bare C-terminal carboxyl group.
