General description

Chemical structure: peptide
Gramicidin A is a linear pentadecapeptide antibiotic produced by Bacillus brevis.[1] The transmembrane protein contains a left-handed helix with alternating L and D residues.[2]

Application

Gramicidin from Bacillus aneurinolyticus (Bacillus brevis) has been used as a control to measure the rate of diffusion of protonated β-lactams through the lipid bilayer in liposome swelling assay.[3] It has also been used as an analyte for the purpose of infrared laser desorption or ionization from silicon.[4]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Linear polypeptide antibiotic mixture of gramicidin A, B, C, and D.
Linear polypeptide antibiotic mixture of gramicidin A, B, C, and D. Gramicidin A acts as neutral carrier and helps in the establishment of ion flux across the lipid bilayer.[2]
Linear polypeptide antibiotic, a mixture of gramicidin A, B, C, and D. Gramicidin D, a channel-forming ionophore that flip-flops slowly across the membrane is a known Pgp substrate and surprisingly was found to inhibit Pgp ATPase activity. This inhibition was reversed by other Pgp substrates suggesting a common drug binding site among MDR substrate-type drugs and chemosensitizers.

Questions

  1. I have a question about this product (gramicidin) - What is the composition/percentage of A, B, C, D in this Gramicidin mix? Which one has the pore-forming activity, A, B, C or D? Thanks!

    1 answer
    1. TS Answer: The content of Gramicidins A1, A2, B1, C1 and C2 in G5002 is lot-dependent & is ≥ 95.0 %. The content of Gramicidin A1 is also lot-dependent & is ≥ 60.0 %. Please refer to lot-specific CoA. The % contents of the other Gramicidins are not determined in-house. According to published literature citations, Gramicidin A is pore-forming.
