## Abstract In order to study the role of D‐amino acid residues in keeping the stable β‐sheet conformation and in the antimicrobial activity of gramicidin S (GS), the four analogs of GS containing D‐Ala, L‐Ala, Gly, and Aib (α‐aminoisobutyric acid) in place of D‐Phe were synthesized. D‐Ala‐and Gly‐
## Abstract Gramicidin S (GS) is a cyclo‐decapeptide antibiotic isolated from __Bacillus brevis__. The structural studies have shown that GS forms a two‐stranded antiparallel β‐sheet imposed by two II′ β‐turns. Despite its wide Gram+ and Gram− antimicrobial spectrum, GS is useless in therapy becaus
