D-form KLKLLLLLKLK-NH(2) peptide exerts higher antimicrobial properties than its L-form counterpart via an association with bacterial cell wall components

The antimicrobial peptide KLKLLLLLKLK-NH(2) was developed based on sapesin B, and synthesized using D-amino acids. Biochemical properties of the D-form and L-form KLKLLLLLKLK-NH(2) peptides were compared. In order to limit the effects due to bacterial resistance to proteolysis, antimicrobial activit...
