Cecropin B1 (CB1) with two amphipathic α-helical segments is a derivative of the natural
antibacterial peptide, cecropin B. The assays of cell lysis show that, compared with cecropin …

In order to investigate structure‐activity relationships of cecropins, model peptides that mimic
certain structural features of the cecropin molecules were designed and synthesized. The …

Natural anti-bacterial peptides cecropin B (CB) and its analogs cecropin B-1 (CB-1),
cecropin B-2 (CB-2) and cecropin B-3 (CB-3) were prepared. The different characteristics of …

Six analogues of the 37-residue antibacterial peptide cecropin A were synthesized by the
solid-phase method: cecropin A-(2-37),[Glu2] cecropin A,[Pro4] cecropin A,[Glu6] cecropin …

Cecropins are peptides with antibacterial activity originally found in insects. Recently a
cecropin‐type peptide was isolated from pig intestine. This peptide, porcine cecropin P1 …

The solution structure of a custom lytic peptide, cecropin B3 (CB3), having two identical
hydrophobic segments on both the N‐and C‐termini, was investigated by two‐dimensional …

Revised Manuscript Received July 7, 1994® abstract: Cecropin B2 (CecB) is a 35 amino
acid residue, antibacterial peptide that was isolated from the hemolymph and cuticular …

Cecropin B (LCB) is a natural peptide with antibacterial and antifungal properties. The
enantiomer of LCB, containing all-D amino acids (DCB), was synthesized to examine its …

We have de novo designed four antimicrobial peptides AMP‐A/B/C/D, the 51‐residues
peptides, which are based on the conserved sequence of cecropin. In the present study, the …
