GRAMICIDIN A/CSCL COMPLEX, ACTIVE AS A DIMER
Overview
The linear pentadecapeptide antibiotic, gramicidin D, is a naturally, occurring product of Bacillus brevis known to form ion channels in, synthetic and natural membranes. The x-ray crystal structures of the, right-handed double-stranded double-helical dimers (DSDH) reported here, agree with 15N-NMR and CD data on the functional gramicidin D channel in, lipid bilayers. These structures demonstrate single-file ion transfer, through the channels. The results also indicate that previous crystal, structure reports of a left-handed double-stranded double-helical dimer in, complex with Cs+ and K+ salts may be in error and that our evidence points, to the DSDH as the major conformer responsible for ion transport in, membranes.
About this Structure
1AV2 is a Protein complex structure of sequences from Brevibacillus brevis with CS, CL, FOR and MOH as ligands. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA.
