Plant host defense peptides (HDPs), also known as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), are
regarded as one of the most prevalent barriers elaborated by plants to combat various …

Snakins are antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found, so far, exclusively in plants, and known to
be important in the defense against a wide range of pathogens. Like other plant AMPs, they …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a diverse group of short, cationic peptides which are
naturally occurring molecules in the first-line defense of most living organisms. They …

Snakins are plant antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) of the Snakin/GASA family, formed by three
distinct regions: an N-terminal signal peptide; a variable site; and the GASA domain in the …

Background The production of antimicrobial peptides is a common defense strategy of living
cells against a wide range of pathogens. Plant snakin peptides inhibit bacterial and fungal …

Antimicrobial peptides and proteins represent an important class of plant defensive
compounds against pathogens and provide a rich source of lead compounds in the field of …

A new type of antimicrobial peptide, snakin-1 (SN1), has been isolated from potato tubers
and found to be active, at concentrations< 10 μM, against bacterial and fungal pathogens …

In this study, for the first time, functionally active, recombinant, cysteine-rich plant proteins
snakin-1 (SN1) and defensin (PTH1) were expressed and purified using a prokaryotic …

Abstract Snakin-1 (SN-1) is a small cysteine-rich plant antimicrobial peptide with broad
spectrum antimicrobial activity which was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum). Here …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) represent a diverse group of biologically active molecules
that are part of the innate immune systems of a variety of organisms. Their primary function …
