Lipid II-Mediated Pore Formation by the Peptide Antibiotic Nisin: a Black Lipid Membrane Study

Open access
Wiedemann, Imke, Benz, Roland, Sahl, Hans-Georg·2004·Journal of Bacteriology

Abstract

The antibiotic peptide nisin is the first known lantibiotic that uses a docking molecule within the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane for pore formation. Through specific interaction with the cell wall precursor lipid II, nisin forms defined pores which are stable for seconds and have pore diameters of 2 to 2.5 nm.

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.
