Abstract
⺠Structure, activity and mechanism of action of temporin-SHd were studied. ⺠It is the first long temporin with broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. ⺠A permeabilization/disruption of the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane occurred. ⺠Activity is also observed against Leishmania and Trypanosoma parasites. ⺠We report a useful tool to analyze the antiparasitic mode of action of temporins.
