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...
A novel inducible antibacterial peptide of Drosophila carries an O-glycosylated substitution
One of the facets of the host defense of higher insects is the rapid and transient synthesis, following bacterial challenge or trauma, of a battery of potent antibacterial pepti...
Structure–activity studies on magainins and other host defense peptides
Abstract Host defense peptides are widely distributed in nature, being found in species from bacteria to humans. The structures of these peptides from insects, horseshoe crabs, ...
Therapeutic peptides: current applications and future directions
Peptide drug development has made great progress in the last decade thanks to new production, modification, and analytic technologies. Peptides have been produced and modified u...
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...
