A novel heterodimeric antimicrobial peptide from the tree‐frog <i>Phyllomedusa distincta</i>
4 Apr 2001
Abstract excerpt
We present here the purification and the analysis of the structural and functional properties of distinctin, a 5.4 kDa heterodimeric peptide with antimicrobial activity from the tree-frog Phyllomedusa distincta. This peptide was isolated from the crude extract of skin granular glands by different chromatographic steps. Its minimal inhibitory concentration was determined against pathogenic Escherichia coli,...
