In Vitro
Parasin I with comparable antimicrobial activities localized to the cell membrane and subsequently permeabilized the outer and cytoplasmic membranes. Parasin I and its active analogs show strong cytoplasmic membrane permeabilizing activity[1]. Codon optimized parasin I fused with human lysozyme is expressed in Pichia pastoris, and has potent antibiotic activity[2].
