Primary structures of three human neutrophil defensins.
The primary structures of three human neutrophil antimicrobial peptides (HNP) were determined. The peptides, HNP-1, HNP-2, and HNP-3, which we have termed defensins, were rich i...
Enumeration of amino acid fermenting bacteria in the human large intestine: effects of pH and starch on peptide metabolism and dissimilation of amino acids
Proteins and trichloroacetic acid-soluble peptides were present in high concentrations in human intestinal contents and faeces. Free amino acids were also detected in millimolar...
Comparative Cataloging of 16S Ribosomal Ribonucleic Acid: Molecular Approach to Procaryotic Systematics
A taxonomy for Bacillus subtilis, B. megaterium, B. cereus, B. pumilus, B. pasteurii, B. stearothermophilus, and Sporosarcina ureae has been constructed from comparisons of T1 r...
Antimicrobial Peptides: Classification, Design, Application and Research Progress in Multiple Fields
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of small peptides that widely exist in nature and they are an important part of the innate immune system of different organisms. AMPs h...
Bactericidal Kinetics of 3 Lactoferricins Against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli
Bovine lactoferricin is an antimicrobial, cationic peptide generated upon gastric pepsin cleavage of bovine lactoferrin. We investigated the bactericidal effects of native lacto...
