The Droserasin 1 PSI: A Membrane-Interacting Antimicrobial Peptide from the Carnivorous Plant <i>Drosera capensis</i>

The Droserasins, aspartic proteases from the carnivorous plant <i>Drosera capensis</i>, contain a 100-residue plant-specific insert (PSI) that is post-translationally cleaved and independently acts as an antimicrobial peptide. PSIs are of interest not only for their inhibition of microbi...
