Truncating Lactoferrampin Peptide: Which Parts Are Essential for Antimicrobial Activity?

evidence
The takeaway

Systematic C- and N-terminal truncation of lactoferrampin (LFampin 265-284) revealed the minimal active sequence needed for antimicrobial activity versus biophysical membrane interaction — not all structure-activity matches.
