Abstract

Click into place: Tachyplesin-I (TP-I) analogues in which both disulfide bridges (1) have been replaced with triazoles (2) represent structural mimetics of TP-I that display similar or slightly improved antibacterial activity. Optimized structures were obtained by replacing the cysteine residues in TP-I by azido- and alkyno-functionalized amino acids.
