Antimicrobial activity of synthetic magainin peptides and several analogues.
Open accessAbstract
We have previously reported the isolation of two broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptides ("magainins") from the skin of the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis. These natural peptides are active against many species of bacteria and fungi and also induce osmotic lysis of protozoa. In this report we demonstrate that synthetic magainin peptides appear to be indistinguishable from the natural products with respect to chromatographic properties and biological activity. These studies demonstrate conclusively that the magainin peptides are potent antimicrobial substances.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
