Definition

  • Information A group of peptides characterized by length of 1-2 dozen residues with a high proportion of them being non-proteinogenic, notably alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) and isovaline, and have a C-terminal amino alcohol and N terminal alkyl group. They are found in fungi and some are anti-infective agents. They form channels or pores in target organisms. The term is a contraction of peptide-Aib-alcohol.
