Macrocyclic Antimicrobial Peptides Engineered from ω-Conotoxin

The potent calcium channel blocker ω-conotoxin MVIIA is a linear cystine-knot peptide with multiple basic amino acids at both termini. This work shows that macrocyclization of MVIIA linking two positive-charge terminal clusters as a contiguous segment converts a conotoxin into an antimicrobial pepti...
