Description
Due to the increasing resistance of bacteria to antibiotics, new antimicrobial peptide synthesis has been utilized to develop more effective treatment. In this project, we aim to utilize two of the chosen amino acids to generate a dipeptide with desired sequence. The N-terminal and C-terminals will be protected to ensure the proper sequencing that is designed. Spectrometry will be utilized to analyze the dipeptide to confirm the success synthesis of the product. 96-well plates will be treated with the synthesized dipeptides with different concentrations to determine the bacterial growth compared with the control group. The turbidity will be decided via the optical density.
