Solution NMR structures of the antimicrobial peptides phylloseptin-1, -2, and -3 and biological activity: The role of charges and hydrogen bonding interactions in stabilizing helix conformations
The peptide was synthesized by solid-phase synthesis using Fmoc chemistry. The peptide is an antimicrobial peptide that is naturally found from the skin secretion of Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis (Orange-legged leaf frog), a frog species found in Brazilian southeast Atlantic Forest.
