Abstract
Metallopeptides containing both the complex Cu(2+)-glycyl-glycyl-histidine (Cu-GGH) and the sequence WRWYCR were shown to possess antimicrobial activity against a variety of pathogenic bacteria, as well as bind to and cleave a variety of nucleic acids, suggesting potential mechanisms for antimicrobial activity that involve binding and/or irreversible cleavage of bacterial nucleic acids.Entities:
