Polyalanine peptide

Description

Polyalanine peptide pALA is an antimicrobial peptide that targets biofilms and Gram-negative bacteria and is non-toxic to mammalian cells. Polyalanine peptide forms an ?-helical conformation that effectively permeabilizes Gram-negative bacterial membranes, thereby inducing lethal cell leakage. Polyalanine peptide can be used in anti-infection research.
