Antimicrobial Pepide: HBCM2

Antimicrobial peptides, or AMPs, are naturally occurring peptides used by organisms to combat pathogenic infections.They have recently gained traction as an alternative to antibiotics due to the rise of antimicrobial-resistant infections. HBCM2, an α-helical AMP hybrid of cecropin and melittin peptides, is particularly active against gram-negative bacteria. Its target is membrane permeabilization and has a Minimum Inhibitory Concentration of 5 μM (E. coli C43(DE3))
