Interaction with Lipopolysaccharide is Key to Efficacy of Tryptophan- and Arginine-Rich α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone Analogs Against Gram-Negative Bacteria

Kanchan Tiwari,
Priya Patel,

et al.

Abstract: Aim: In order to search for novel antibacterial therapeutics against Gram-negative bacteria, the antibacterial efficacies and mechanism of action of tryptophan- and arginine-rich α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone analogs were investigated. Materials & methods: We performed a killing assay to determine their efficacy; fluorescence, microscopic studies were used to understand their mechanism and peptide–lipopolysaccharide interaction. A checkerboard assay was used to find the effective combination of peptide … Show more
