Addtional InformationSynthesis Type : Ribosomal| shows 95% inhibition against(Lactobacillus brevis L1055: 12.7 ¼g/ml|Pediococcus dextrinicus DSM 20293: 10.7 ¼g/ml|Staphylococcus aureus Newman: >40 ¼g/ml|Bacillus cereus NCIMB 1526: >40 ¼g/ml|Salmonella typhimurium SL1344: >40 ¼g/ml|Escherichia coli MG1655: >40 ¼g/ml|Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCIMB 950: 21.4 ¼g/ml), It showed activity against human pathogens such as E. coli, S. aureus, and P. syringae. In silico prediction as beta-structure similar to other defensins. As many as 4 S-S bonds are possible. A linear analog, KT43C, is active against F. culmorum, P. expansum and A. niger. It appears to damage membranes and induce reactive oxygen species (Food Microbi 2018). This study suggests that disulfide bonds are not absoultely needed for activity. 3/2018.
