Patent ID: 7674771

Claim:
An artificially designed antimicrobial peptide that does not occur naturally, wherein the antimicrobial peptide includes a sequence composed of at least 6 contiguous amino acid residues selected from the group consisting of LMWWML (SEQ. ID. NO: 1), LMWWLL (SEQ. ID. NO: 2), CLFWLL (SEQ. ID. NO: 3), LIWYLL (SEQ. ID. NO: 4), VVYWLL (SEQ. ID. NO: 5), LYLGAV (SEQ. ID. NO: 6), LITSKM (SEQ. ID. NO: 7), FFYMVI (SEQ. ID. NO: 8), AND LLTAKM (SEQ. ID. NO: 9), as an amino acid sequence constituting laminin biding site (LBS), a partial sequence linked in tandem to the N-terminal and/or C-terminal of said sequence, where the partial sequence is a high basic partial sequence and more than half of the amino acid residues constituting the partial sequence composed of 3 or more contiguous amino residues are lysine or arginine, wherein the total number of amino acid residues is 20 or less.
