Part:BBa_K3182006
Magainin 2
African Clawed Frog antimicrobial peptide Magainin-2. Designed to target bacteria, virus and fungus. The peptide is 24 amino acids long and carries mostly hydrophobic residues. The four lysines present provide a slight positive charge. Magainin-2 mimics membrane protein by having a single alpha helix which will interact with the lipid membrane of bacteria.
The peptide is designed to battle the Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter spp. family of pathogens (ESKAPE). ESKAPE is a family(ies) of bacteria which has multiple understrains that has evolved resistance to the most commonly used antibiotics.. This part was designed to be assembled with BBa_K3182100.
