Defensins and cystein rich peptides: two types of antimicrobial peptides in marine molluscs

Defensins and cystein rich peptides: two types of antimicrobial peptides in marine molluscs

Show other versions (1)

This review focuses on defensins and cystein rich peptides, which are the most abundant natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) described in molluscs. These are compact peptides, 3-5 kDa in molecular mass, cationic and amphipatic; the presence of at least six cysteine residues forming three or four di...
