Attacins: A Promising Class of Insect Antimicrobial Peptides

Attacins: A Promising Class of Insect Antimicrobial Peptides

Insects produce a large repertoire of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) as the first line of defense against bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. These peptides are produced from a large precursor that contains a signal domain, which is cleaved in vivo to produce the mature protein with antimicrobial...
