The structures of major muramyl peptides derived from peptidoglycan of the oral pathogen Streptococcus sanguis were determined and the biological activity of the peptides was tested in vitro on human monocytes. The muramyl peptides, produced by muramidase digestion of the puriÐed peptidoglycan, were

Chain-extension of L-glutamate aldehyde 3 by means of the Wittig-Horner reaction furnished the desired C 7 dicarboxylic acid derivative, which in turn, after C-C double bond hydrogenation and protecting group manipulation, afforded the 2,6-diaminopimelic acid derivatives (S,R)-9 and (S,S)-9, both wi
## Abstract 1. The extent of racemization and the coupling yield in peptide synthesis were studied under high dilution conditions. The azide method yielded the best results. 2. Five linear penta‐peptide precursors related to gramicidin S were subjected to cyclization in order to study how the diffe
The skin provides an effective barrier to the loss of body fluids and environmental assault. In addition to the physical barrier provided by the stratum corneum, the skin also contains a chemical barrier consisting of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which control microbial growth on the surface.
