abstract = {The 2014 report from the World Health Organization (WHO) on
antimicrobial resistance revealed an alarming rise in
antibiotic resistance all around the world. Unlike classical
antibiotics, with the exception of a few species, no
acquired resistance towards antimicrobial peptides (AMPs)
has been reported. Therefore, AMPs represent leads for the
development of novel antibiotics. Caenopore-5 is
constitutively expressed in the intestine of the nematode
Caenorhabditis elegans and is a pore-forming AMP. The
protein (82 amino acids) was successfully synthesised by
using Boc solid-phase peptide synthesis and native chemical
ligation. No γ-linked by-product was observed despite the
use of a C-terminal Glu-thioester. The folding of the
synthetic protein was confirmed by (1) H NMR spectroscopy
and circular dichroism and compared with data recorded for
recombinant caenopore-5. The permeabilisation activities of
the protein and of shortened analogues were evaluated.},
