摘要
The double-helical structure adopted by the antiviral peptide feglymycin (see picture) is reminiscent of that of gramicidin, but feglymycin is more likely to function as an ion carrier than as a membrane channel. With more than 1000 unique atoms this is the largest equal-atom crystal structure solved by ab initio direct methods. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA Weinheim.
