Abstract:
The present invention relates to an antibacterial and fungicidal peptide in which a lysine and tryptophan dipeptide is repeated. More specifically, the antibacterial and fungicidal peptide of the present invention, in which lysine and tryptophan dipeptide is repeated four times, shows excellent antibacterial activities with respect to gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria and antibiotic-resistant strains by affecting the inner membrane of harmful microorganisms, has remarkable fungicidal activities with respect to pathogenic fungi and antibiotic-resistant fungi, and shows little cytotoxicity, and thus can be useful for a pharmaceutical composition, a cosmetic composition, agricultural chemicals, a food preservative, a cosmetic preservative, and a pharmaceutical preservative.
Abstract:
In a method of killing or reducing a growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), a composition including a peptide consisting of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or 3 is administered to a subject in need thereof. The peptide can be usefully applied as an active ingredient for antibiotics, cosmetic compositions, food additives, feed additives, biological pesticides and quasi-drugs.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a peptide derived from the Helicobacter pylori ribosomal protein L1, and the use of this peptide an antibiotic. More specifically, the peptide is derived by making site-specific substitution mutations in a peptide consisting of amino acids 2-20 of the Helicobacter pylori ribosomal protein L1. The resulting peptide has both antibacterial activity and anti-inflammatory activity, but no cytotoxicity.
