Abstract

Peptide antibiotic AS-48 was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chromatography, gel filtration chromatography, and reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The purified fraction was active against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. AS-48 is a basic protein with an isoelectric point of ca. 10.5 and a molecular mass of 7.4 kilodaltons. Its inhibitory activity was markedly affected by sodium dodecyl sulfate and cardiolipin but not by neuraminidase, pectinase, beta-glucosidase, or beta-glucuronidase. Differential scanning calorimetry data suggested that AS-48 molecules lack a compact structure.
