The primary amino acid structure of the original LL-37 is LLGD FFR KSK EKI GKE FKR IVQ RIK DFL RNL VPR TES. hCAP is a 27-mer peptide that lacks the first and last 5 amino acids of LL-37. FF/CAP18 (FRK SKE KIG KFF KRI VQR IFD FLR NLV) was designed by replacing a glutamic acid residue and lysine residue with phenylalanine of hCAP18 to enhance its antimicrobial and anticancer properties (11).
