[edit]I have temporarily removed the following content from the article, pending clarification. In the context of proteins, the phrase "L-enantiomer" applies to a single stereocenter (one amino acid) and therefore it doesn't make sense to refer to the "L-enantiomer" of a protein which has numerous stereocenters. It's not clear to me from the reference what was intended.
Only the L-enantiomer of pyrrhocoricin is active against bacteria.<ref>{{cite journal|url=https://febs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1046/j.1432-1033.2002.03119.x|title=Identification of crucial residues for the antibacterial activity of the proline-rich peptide, pyrrhocoricin|first1=Goran|last1=Kragol|first2=Ralf|last2=Hoffmann|first3=Michael A.|last3=Chattergoon|first4=Sandor|last4=Lovas|first5=Mare|last5=Cudic|first6=Philippe|last6=Bulet|first7=Barry A.|last7=Condie|first8=K.
