Investigation of Plant Antimicrobial Peptides against Selected Pathogenic Bacterial Species Using a Peptide-Protein Docking Approach

Figure 5

Protein-protein interactions between snakin-1 and penicillin-binding protein 2a from methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. (a) PBP2a is represented in pink color with grey-colored interacting residues, and snakin-1 is shown in blue color with green interacting residues. (b) All interacting residues between snakin-1 and PBP2a protein of A. baumannii complex; hydrogen bonds are shown in blue color, and salt bridges are represented by red-colored lines. Other representing properties of amino acids are represented by different colors (positive: blue, neutral: green, negative: red, aliphatic: grey, Pro&Gly: orange, aromatic: pink, and Cys: yellow).
