A new generation of recombinant polypeptides combines multiple protein domains for effective antimicrobial activity
Abstract Background Although most of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), being relatively short, are produced by chemical synthesis, several AMPs have been produced using recombinant technology. However, AMPs could be cytotoxic to the producer cell, and if small they can be easily degraded. The objective...
