[ 1 ] - Comparison of Antimicrobial Properties and Toxicity of Natural S3 Peptide with Horseshoe Crab Amoebocyte Origin and its Mutants

Introduction: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are compounds with antimicrobial properties that are studied widely due to the development of resistance of pathogenic bacteria to antibiotics. In the present study, the toxicity and antimicrobial effects of two natural monomeric peptides (S3 and S∆3) were compared with S3-S∆3 hybrids and S3 tetramers. Material & Methods: Protein hybrids (S∆3S3-2mer-G...
