Abstract

Mastoparan B (MP-B), an antimicrobial cationic tetradecapeptide amide isolated from the venom of the hornet Vespa basalis, is an amphiphilic ${\alpha}$-helical peptide. In order to study the relationship between the structure and biological activity, we used the three analogues by replacing amino acids with alanine (4LysAla： 4MP-B, 12-LYsAla: 12MP-B, 9TrpAla: 9Mp-B).(omitted)
