(KFF) 3K

(KFF) 3K is a cell-penetrating peptide that enhances the absorption of other antibiotics by disrupting the outer membrane of bacteria. This compound introduces a hydrocarbon scaffold that induces its antibacterial properties, rendering it an effective antimicrobial peptide. Additionally, (KFF) 3K has potential applications in the development of novel antimicrobial agents.
