Cada uno de los antibióticos del grupo producido por Bacillus brevis. Su estructura química responde a la de péptidos cíclicos. El constituyente más importante del grupo, gramicidina S, es un decapéptido cíclico. El mecanismo de acción reside en su comportamiento desacoplador de la fosforilación oxidativa. 1, record 1, Spanish, - gramacidina

Ionophores, molecules that carry ions across [mitochondrial] membranes, are essential tools in the study of chemiosmotic mechanisms (...) The ionophore valinomy is a cyclic molecule that is soluble in membranes and selectively carries potassium ions (K+). Nigericin also transports potassium, but only in exchange for protons; it is insoluble in the membrane unless one ion or the other is bound. Gramicidin A forms a pore in the membrane, made up of two helical molecules, that is permeable to ions with one positive charge. 1, record 3, English, - gramicidin%20A
