Spheniscin-2 antimicrobial peptide from the king penguin (Aptenodytes patagonicus)
Spheniscin-2 is a potent antimicrobial peptide that is produced by the king penguin. In nature, the king penguin produces Spheniscin-2 in its stomach to preserve food for long periods of time by preventing bacterial decomposition of the food. Studies by ( ) have shown that Spheniscin-2 has a wide range of activity against many gram positive, gram negative, and even fungal organisms, allowing the king penguin to store food for long periods of time.
Design
This part was codon optimized for E. coli using the Life Technologies GeneArt ® software program. By design, this part is Assembly Standard #23 (Silver Fusion) and contains a Methionine(atg) residue at the start of the coding region.
