antimicrobial and antifungal dimeric synthetic peptide and their uses. The invention relates to a dimeric synthetic peptide capable of inhibiting the growth of escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus. The dimeric synthetic peptide (mg2) 2k, described by the present invention, was designed and synthesized using a lysine residue as a linker for the binding of the two magainin 2 peptide chains. |
