An example of this is the facially cationic peptide C18G, which was designed from the C-terminal domain of human platelet factor IV. [70] Currently, the most widely used antimicrobial peptide is nisin ; being the only FDA approved antimicrobial peptide, it is commonly used as an artificial preservative.
Glycopeptide antibiotics are a class of drugs of microbial origin that are composed of glycosylated cyclic or polycyclic nonribosomal peptides.Significant glycopeptide antibiotics include the anti-infective antibiotics vancomycin, teicoplanin, telavancin, ramoplanin, avoparcin and decaplanin, corbomycin, complestatin and the antitumor antibiotic bleomycin.

The active form is LL-37. In humans, CAMP encodes the peptide precursor CAP-18 (18 kDa), which is processed by proteinase 3 ...
Bacitracin is a polypeptide antibiotic derived from a bacterium, Bacillus subtilis, and acts against bacteria through the inhibition of cell wall synthesis. [6] It does this by inhibiting the removal of phosphate from lipid compounds, thus deactivating its function to transport peptidoglycan; the main component of bacterial cell membranes, to the microbial cell wall.

A lipopeptide is a molecule consisting of a lipid connected to a peptide. [1] They are able to self-assemble into different structures. [1] [2] [3] Many bacteria produce these molecules as a part of their metabolism, especially those of the genus Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Streptomyces. [4] Certain lipopeptides are used as antibiotics.
In this case, peptides will grow to a certain point until steric hindrance inhibits peptidyl transferase activity. [11] Lincosamides do not interfere with protein synthesis in human cells (or those of other eukaryotes) due to structural differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes.
Surfactin is a cyclic lipopeptide, commonly used as an antibiotic for its capacity as a surfactant. [2] It is an amphiphile capable of withstanding hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments.
