Product Description: Polyalanine peptide (pALA) is an antimicrobial peptide that targets biofilms and Gram-negative bacteria and is non-toxic to mammalian cells. Polyalanine peptide forms an α-helical conformation that effectively permeabilizes Gram-negative bacterial membranes, thereby inducing lethal cell leakage. Polyalanine peptide can be used in anti-infection research[1].
