Description
Brevinin-1LT2 is a novel antimicrobial peptide identified from the skin secretions of the Chinese broad-folded frog, Hylarana latouchii. It belongs to the brevinin-1 family of amphibian antimicrobial peptides, which are characterized by a conserved amino acid sequence and the presence of a disulfide bridge forming a C-terminal loop. The primary structure of brevinin-1LT2 is FFGSVLKVAAKVLPAALCQIFKKC.
This peptide is predicted to adopt an amphipathic alpha-helical conformation, a structural feature common among antimicrobial peptides that enables interaction with and disruption of microbial cell membranes. Brevinin-1LT2 displays a high content of alpha-helical secondary structure, a net positive charge of +4, and a grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY) of 1.133. These physicochemical properties are closely similar to those of brevinin-1LT1, suggesting that brevinin-1LT2 likely possesses analogous membrane-disturbing antimicrobial mechanisms.

About TFA salt
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is a common counterion from the purification process using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The presence of TFA can affect the peptide's net weight, appearance, and solubility.
Impact on Net Weight: The TFA salt contributes to the total mass of the product. In most cases, the peptide content constitutes >80% of the total weight, with TFA accounting for the remainder.
Solubility: TFA salts generally enhance the solubility of peptides in aqueous solutions.
In Biological Assays: For most standard in vitro assays, the residual TFA levels do not cause interference. However, for highly sensitive cellular or biochemical studies, please be aware of its presence.
