Effect of Melittin on Metabolomic Profile and Cytokine Production in PMA-Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Vaccines, 2018 Melittin, the major active peptide of honeybee venom (BV), has potential for use in adjuvant immunotherapy. The immune system response to different stimuli depends on the secretion of different metabolites from macrophages.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Transient oligomers formed by intrinsically disordered proteins may be ‘invisible’ to direct detection yet remain accessible to solution NMR through equilibrium‐exchange measurements and pressure‐jump experiments. Complementary methods report on mass, stoichiometry, selected distance distributions, morphology, and internal packing.

Effect of melittin on mice stomach
Saudi Journal of Biological Sciences, 2014 Melittin, the main bee venom component, has many positive biological effects and a relatively low toxicity in various cell types. However, there is no evidence of the effect of melittin on gastrointestinal cells. In the present study, we investigated the histological and immuonohistochemical effects of melittin on mice stomach.

Helical Structure of Recombinant Melittin [PDF]
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2018 Melittin is an extensively studied, 26-residue toxic peptide from honey bee venom. Because of its versatility in adopting a variety of secondary (helix or coil) and quaternary (monomer or tetramer) structures in various environments, melittin has been the focus of numerous investigations as a model peptide in protein folding studies as well as in ...

Advancing Therapies for Mycobacterial Diseases: From Small Molecules to Host‐Directed Strategies
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The global burden of multidrug‐resistant tuberculosis (MDR‐TB) and the rising incidence of nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infections highlight the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. Current treatments are prolonged, toxic, and increasingly compromised by resistance and limited diagnostic capacity.
