Overview
Meet SMAP-18, a specialized 18-amino acid residue peptide amide, derived from the well-known Sheep myeloid antimicrobial peptide-29 (SMAP-29). This peptide is designed for researchers seeking high efficiency in antimicrobial activity against challenging pathogens like Pseudomonas strains and other Gram-negative bacteria. While retaining significant antimicrobial potency, SMAP-18 excels in cell selectivity, exhibiting markedly lower hemolytic activity than its parent compound. This ensures that your experiments yield reliable results without compromising cell integrity.
Key Features
- Shorter peptide sequence (18 amino acids) enhances cell selectivity.
- Effective against multidrug-resistant bacteria and Pseudomonas strains.
- Lower hemolytic activity to protect healthy cells.
- Ideal for antimicrobial research and therapeutic development.
- Produced and tested under stringent quality controls.
