Abstract

Nonribosomal E-vinylogous γ-amino acids are widely present in many peptide natural products and have been exploited as inhibitors for serine and cysteine proteases. Here, we are reporting the broad spectrum antimicrobial properties and self-assembled nanostructures of various hybrid lipopeptides composed of 1: 1 alternating α-and E- vinylogous residues. Analysis of the results revealed that self-assembled nanostructures ...
