Marine Invertebrate Peptides: Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Antimicrobial peptides are an important component of many organisms’ innate immune system, with a good inhibitory or killing effect against the invading pathogens. As a type of biological polypeptide with natural immune activities, antimicrobial peptides have a broad spectrum of antibacterial, antiviral, and antitumor activities.
