I just realized I didn’t answer the question. For a simplified answer for what the molecule is that mimics a defensin peptide I went to Wiki: “... is an arylamide foldamer designed to replicate the amphiphilic properties of antimicrobial peptides while solving the problems encountered by peptide-based antimicrobials.”

Defensin peptide mimitics are artificial molecules that mimic the ability of proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides to fold into well-defined conformations, such as helices and ß-sheets.

Arylamide foldamer: an aromatic ring molecule containing peptide bonds that folds on itself. “ They are artificial molecules that mimic the ability of proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides to fold into well-defined conformations, such as helices and ß-sheets.”

Yes, Brilacidin is a non-peptide mimetic.
