20 We have designed a hybrid peptide by combining sequences of human β-defensin-1 and 21 θ-defensin, in an attempt to generate a molecule that combines the diversity in structure and 22 biological activity of two different peptides to yield a promising therapeutic candidate. HBD-1 23 was chosen as it is a natural defensin of humans that is constitutively expressed but its 24 antibacterial activ...
