Probing the C3 symmetry of Gramicidin S

Abstract

Gramicidin S continues to inspire antibiotic designs. It exhibits a conserved two-fold (C2) symmetry postulated to underpin its biological activity. Here we probe the C3 symmetry of Gramicidin S and its impact on the folding and antibacterial properties of this antibiotic.
