De-novo design of antimicrobial peptides for plant protection

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Protection and collaborators from the Germany GermanyEditor: Jesús Murillo, Universidad Pública de Navarra, Spain have published the research work: De-Novo Design of Antimicrobial Peptides for Plant Protection, in the Journal: PLOS ONE | www.plosone.org of August/12,/2013

SUMMARY

Despite their high sequence diversity, AMPs share fundamental structural properties such as short size, positive net charge, hydrophobic nature and clustering of cationic and hydrophobic amino_acids within distinct domains of the molecule. Spraying the designed peptides on the surface of infected leaves demonstrated their antimicrobial activity directly on plants . . .
