Abstract

The present work describes the synthesis and characterization of α/γ hybrid peptides, Boc-Phe-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe, P1; Boc-Ala-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe, P2; and Boc-Leu-γ4 -Phe-Val-OMe, P3 together with the formation of self-assembled structures formed by these hybrid peptides in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)/water (1:1). The self-assembled structures were characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, circular dichroism (CD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Further, α/γ hybrid peptide self-assembled structures were evaluated for antibacterial properties. Among all, the self-assembled peptide P1 exhibited the antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, while self-assembled peptide P3 inhibited the biofilms of Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In this study, we have shown the significance of self-assembled structures formed from completely hydrophobic α/γ hybrid peptides in exploring the antibacterial properties together with biofilm inhibition.

Biofilm & Infectious Disease

Biofilm formation is a key virulence factor for a wide range of microorganisms that cause chronic infections.Here is the latest research on biofilm and infectious diseases.

Biofilms

Biofilms are adherent bacterial communities embedded in a polymer matrix and can cause persistent human infections that are highly resistant to antibiotics. Discover the latest research on Biofilms here.
