Abstract

Abstract: Stendomycin, an antifungal peptide antibiotic, is a mixture of closely related compounds. Their amino acid sequence was elucidated mainly through the study of peptides from partial acid hydrolysates. In all members of the stendomycin family the N- terminal amino acid, proline, is acylated by a branched-chain fatty acid; the C-terminal amino acid, a cyclic derivative of arginine, forms a lactone bond with the hydroxyl group of ...
