Effect of repetitive lysine–tryptophan motifs on the bactericidal activity of antimicrobial peptides

Previous studies identified lysine- and tryptophan-rich sequences within various cationic antimicrobial peptides. In the present study, we synthesized a series of peptides composed of lysine (K)-tryptophan (W) repeats (KW)(n) (where n equals 2, 3, 4 or 5) with amidation of the C-terminal to increase...
