Description
Peptide-based therapies for bacterial infections represent an increasing area of interest. Liquid-phase peptide synthesis was done to characterize the bactericidal capacity of a peptide composed of three tryptophan residues, and proton NMR was done to confirm the product. The tripeptide was spiked into a bacterial culture to assess inhibition.
