Cysteine deleted protegrin-1 (CDP-1) : anti-bacterial activity, outer-membrane disruption and selectivity

BACKGROUND: Protegin-1 (PG-1: RGGRLCYCRRRFCVCVGR-amide) assumes a rigid β-hairpin like structure that is stabilized by two disulfide bridges between Cys6-Cys15 and Cys8-Cys13. Previous studies, employing linear analogs of PG-1, with Cys to Ala mutations or modified Cys, have demonstrated that the d...
