Abstract
- Antimicrobial activity of pleurocidin is retained in a C-terminal 12-amino acid fragment.
- The antifungal effects of Plc-2 are thought to be due to membrane disruption after the accumulation in the plasma membrane of the fungal cell.
- This peptide may be helpful to form a leading model for developing new and of novel therapeutic agents.
