Biological evaluation of Tyr6 and Ser7 modified drosocin analogues
article
An array of analogues of the cationic antimicrobial peptide drosocin was synthesized containing substitutions of Tyr6 and Ser7 in order to increase the proteolytic stability. Stabilizing the N-terminus with unnatural amino acids increased the serum stability of analogues by almost a factor 30 over an 8 h period. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
