Four AS-48 mutants (Trp24Ala, Gly13Lys, Leu40Lys and Ala53Ser) were obtained by site-directed mutagenesis. The minimal inhibitory concentration of each peptide showed that only residue Trp24 was unquestionably involved in the biological activity. Guanidine hydrochloride-induced unfolding assays showed a three-state transition denaturation process, suggesting a molten-globule-like conformation after the first transition.
通过定点诱变获得了四个AS-48突变体(Trp24Ala、Gly13Lys、Leu40Lys和Ala53Ser)。每种肽的最低抑菌浓度表明,只有残基Trp24无疑参与了生物活性。盐酸胍诱导的去折叠试验显示出三态转变变性过程,表明在第一次转变后形成了类似熔球的构象。
