Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are novel agents for therapeutic application for their inherent broad spectrum of activities against bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as anti-inflammatory, anticancerous, and immunomodulatory activities. This chapter presents an enzymatic method to generate glycovariants of one such antimicrobial peptide, namely enterocin 96, using a bacterial protein O- and S-glycosyltransferase, in vitro.
