Abstract
The design and synthesis of analogues of the cyclic β-sheet peptide gramicidin S (GS), having additional functionalities in their turn regions, is reported. The monomeric GS analogues were transformed into dimers and their activities towards biological membranes, through antimicriobial and hemolytic assays, were evaluated. Finally, conductivity measurements have been performed to elucidate ion channel forming properties.Keywords
