Trans-kingdom conservation of mechanism between bacterial actifensin and eukaryotic defensins
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides are defense molecules found across all domains of life holding promise for developing therapies against drug-resistant pathogens. Actifensin, from Actinomyces ruminicola DPC7226, exhibits potent activity against gram-positive bacteria and shares structural similaritie...
