Figainin 1, a Novel Amphibian Skin Peptide with Antimicrobial and Antiproliferative Properties
Amphibian skin secretions are abundant in bioactive compounds, especially antimicrobial peptides. These molecules are generally cationic and rich in hydrophobic amino acids, have an amphipathic structure and adopt an α-helical conformation when in contact with microorganisms membranes. In this work,...
