The Orientation of Nisin in Membranes [PDF]

Biochemistry, 1998
Nisin is a 34 residue long peptide belonging to the group A lantibiotics with antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive bacteria. The antimicrobial activity is based on pore formation in the cytoplasmic membrane of target organisms. The mechanism which leads to pore formation remains to be clarified.

Novel Mechanism for Nisin Resistance via Proteolytic Degradation of Nisin by the Nisin Resistance Protein NSR [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 2009
ABSTRACT Nisin is a 34-residue antibacterial peptide produced by Lactococcus lactis that is active against a wide range of gram-positive bacteria. In non-nisin-producing L. lactis , nisin resistance could be conferred by a specific nisin resistance gene ( nsr
