It is produced by the bacteria Bacillus brevis[1]. GCDN S is an antibiotic cyclic polypeptide. GCDN D is a mixture of GCDN A, B, C. See theoretical model of Gramicidin Channel in Lipid Bilayer. Relevance GCDN has bactericidal activity and is used as a topical antibiotic and as topical contraceptive[2]. Structural highlights Gramicidin A Protein: Ligands:
