During the sequencing of the membrane‐modifying eicosapeptide antibiotic suzukacillin A two C‐terminal heptapeptides were obtained via selective trifluoroacetolysis: L‐Pro‐L‐Val‐Aib‐D‐Iva‐L‐Gln‐L‐Gln‐L‐Phl and ‐Pro‐L‐Val‐Aib‐Aib‐L‐Gln‐L‐Phl. The chromatographic and spectroscopic comparison (FAB MS, FD MS, 13 C NMR, CD, UV) of these isolated natural fragments with the synthetic segment L‐Pro‐L‐Val‐Aib‐Aib‐L‐Gln‐L‐Gln‐L‐Phl ( 2 ) and the synthetic C‐terminal segment of alamethicin F30 L‐Pro‐L‐Val‐Aib‐Aib‐L‐Glu‐L‐Gln‐L‐Phl ( 1 ) proved the sequence 14‐20 of suzukacillin A.
