Design Notes

Each of Fibronectin's five repeats of the type I module was considered to be a potential antimicrobial peptide. Each of these peptides was then separately docked with MAM7. Peptide number 5, which had the highest score was taken, for which multiple modification cycles involving conserved and nonconserved mutations were conducted to yield the Antimicrobial Peptide with the best binding affinity to MAM7.

The peptide will be produced using the pET-22b(+) vector system and Escherichia coli BL21 as our chassis.

Source

The sequence for the antimicrobial peptide is derived from Trout Fibronectin
