NEW PEPTIDES HAVING ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY AND NEW ENZYME CAPABLE OF CONVERTING L-CONFIGURED RESIDUE IN D-CONFIGURED AMINO ACID IN A PEPTIDE.

摘要

The present invention relates to a new class of peptides having antibacterial activity and presentin D-amino acids and their uses. It also relates to a new enzyme presenting a peptide epimeras activity in vitro and in vivo, thereby being useful for modifying peptides in order to change th amino acid configuration from L to D.
