Antimicrobial effects of syndiotactic polypeptides

Abstract We present design and antibacterial studies of stereochemically diversified antimicrobial peptides against multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens. Syndiotactic polypeptides are polymers of alternating L and D amino acids with LDLD or DLDL backbone stereochemical sequence, which can form st...
