Aurein-1.1 is a peptide derived from the skin secretions of the Australian tree frog, Litoria aurea. It belongs to a class of compounds known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are known for their ability to disrupt microbial membranes and exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Aurein-1.1 is characterized by its relatively small size, typically consisting of around 13 amino acids, and features a cationic nature due to the presence of positively charged residues. This charge is crucial for its interaction with negatively charged microbial membranes. The peptide is also known for its amphipathic structure, which allows it to interact with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic environments, enhancing its ability to penetrate lipid bilayers. In addition to its antimicrobial properties, Aurein-1.1 has been studied for potential applications in medicine, particularly in developing new antibiotics and therapeutic agents against resistant bacterial strains. Its stability and efficacy make it a subject of interest in the field of biochemistry and pharmacology.
