MeSH definition : A group of peptides characterized by length of 1-2 dozen residues with a high proportion
of them being non-proteinogenic, notably alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) and isovaline,
and have a C-terminal amino alcohol and N terminal alkyl group. They are found in
FUNGI and some are ANTI-INFECTIVE AGENTS. They form channels or pores in target organisms.
The term is a contraction of peptide-Aib-alcohol.;
