Purification and characterization of novel antimicrobial peptides from the skin secretion of Hylarana guentheri

Purification and characterization of one novel cationic antimicrobial peptide from skin secretion of Bufo kavirensis

“…The MIC comparison between Maximin Bk and the other peptides reported so far show that this peptide has low MIC values. As shown in Table 3, the MIC value of Maximin Bk is much lower than Ascaphins [37], Odorranain-HP [38], Brevinin-1CDYa, Brevinin2GHa, Temporin-GH, Japonicin, Dybowskin-112 [39,40], and so forth. Moreover, Maximin Bk has a low percentage of hemolytic property.…”

The Enigma of Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) Associated with Mushroom Virus X (MVX)

“…Separation of compounds extracted from off-or brown-coloured MVX diseased mushroom skin was achieved via Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS). LC-MS detection of the compounds present in the sample was performed using an LCQ TM quadruple ion-trap mass spectrometer (Thermo, San Jose, California, USA) utilising electrospray ionisation (ESI) as described by Zhou et al (2006). Collected fractions of interest were subjected to QToF MS/MS sequencing using a QToF Ultima API mass spectrometer (Waters, Manchester, UK) as described by The 'y' ion assignment corresponding to the partial amino acid sequence of the tolaasin peptide (PSLVSLVVQLV) was readily established from the generated C-terminal y-ion series.…”

The cathelicidin-like peptide derived from panda genome is a potential antimicrobial peptide

“…They can provide an effective and fast acting defense against harmful microorganisms. More than 1000 antimicrobial peptides have been found from animals, plants, and microorganisms (Park et al, 1994;West et al, 2006., Zasloff, 19871992;Zhou et al, 2006). There are two common groups of antimicrobial peptides in vertebrates.…”
