Design of N-Terminal Derivatives from a Novel Dermaseptin Exhibiting Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity against Isolates from Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Design of N-Terminal Derivatives from a Novel Dermaseptin Exhibiting Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity against Isolates from Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Dermaseptins are an antimicrobial peptide family widely identified from the skin secretions of phyllomeudusinae frogs. Here, we identify Dermaseptin-PC (DM-PC), from the skin secretion of <i>Phyllomedusa coelestis</i>, and further investigate the properties of this peptide, and a number...
