An enhancer peptide for membrane-disrupting antimicrobial peptides
BACKGROUND: NP4P is a synthetic peptide derived from a natural, non-antimicrobial peptide fragment (pro-region of nematode cecropin P4) by substitution of all acidic amino acid residues with amides (i.e., Glu → Gln, and Asp → Asn). RESULTS: In the presence of NP4P, some membrane-disrupting antimicro...
