タイトル The hydrophobicity in a chemically modified side-chain of cysteine residues of thanatin is related to antimicrobial activity against Micrococcus luteus.
ジャーナル Biosci Biotechnol Biochem
Abstract The chemically modified thanatins with the methyl group (CH(3)), ethyl group (C(2)H(5)), and normal-octyl group (C(8)H(17)) at the side-chain of cysteine residues were synthesized. The octyl group modified form exhibited 8-fold higher antimicrobial activity against Micrococcus luteus than wild type thanatin. It was found that there was an equilateral correlation between antimicrobial activity and side-chain hydrophobicity at the cysteine residues in thanatin.
