  2. Bacterial
  3. RW3

RW3 is a small cationic hexapeptide with amphiphilic properties. RW3 targets the plasma membrane of bacteria and works by inhibiting cell respiration and cell wall synthesis. RW3 shows high biological activity against gram-positive bacteria and does not show significant cytotoxic or hemolytic effects in previous studies. RW3 quickly kills 97% of the initial colony forming units (CFU) within 10 minutes at twice the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). RW3 can be used in antimicrobial and antifungal studies.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
