Description
Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are a growing area of interest in pharmaceutical research. In this project two amino acids will be coupled in order to produce a dipeptide. Protecting the N-terminus of one amino acid and the C-terminus of another allows only one type of dipeptide to form. The antimicrobial activity of the synthesized dipeptide will be evaluated and compared to other dipeptides currently understood to have activity.
