| Due to poor solubility in water, the structure was determined in methanol. The peptide has two alternative orientations with nearly identical transfer energies: a strongly tilted and a parallel to the membrane surface. The tilted arrangement is in a better agreement with decreased fluorescence of tyrosines (Rintoul et al. 2000). There are two alternative configurations of the peptide when it interacts with uncharged phospholipid monolayers (Bellomio et al. 2005). |

| Peptide antibiotic that functions through inhibition of the bacterial DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RNAP). Also acts on the cytoplasmic membrane of Salmonella newport, producing alteration of membrane permeability and disruption of the subsequent gradient dissipation, which inhibits several processes essential for cell viability, such as oxygen consumption. |
