Structural and functional characterization of peptides derived from the carboxy-terminal region of a defensin from the tick Ornithodoros savignyi
In this study the structural characteristics and antibacterial activities of two peptides derived from the carboxy-terminal of a tick defensin were investigated. Two defensin isoforms (OsDef1 and OsDef2) were previously identified in the midgut of the tick, Ornithodoros savignyi. Both OsDef1 and OsD...
