Function
ATI1C_ALYOB Antibacterial peptide with amphipathic alpha-helical structure that shows selective growth-inhibitory activity against Gram-negative bacteria but low hemolytic activity against human erythrocytes (LC(50)=145-220 uM) (PubMed:19463738, PubMed:21565166). It is moderately active against the Gram-negative bacteria E.coli (MIC=25 uM), K.pneumoniae (MIC=50 uM), P.aeruginosa (MIC=25 uM), A.baumannii (MIC=6 uM), and is weaky active against the Gram-positive S.aureus (MIC=100-250 uM) (PubMed:19463738, PubMed:21565166).[1] [2]
