The marine peptide, American oyster defensin (AOD), is derived from and exhibits a potent bactericidal effect. However, recombinant preparation has not been achieved due to the high charge and hydrophobicity. Although the traditional fusion tags suc...
Defensins are host defense peptides present in nearly all living species, which play a crucial role in innate immunity. These peptides provide protection to the host, either by killing microbes directly or indirectly by activating the immune system. ...
Host defense or antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising candidates for protecting host against microbial pathogens for example bacteria, virus, fungi, yeast. Defensins are the type of AMPs that act as potential therapeutic drug agent and perform ...
