Characterisation of three alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides from the venom of Scorpio maurus palmatus. [PDF]

, 2016
Scorpion venoms provide a rich source of anti-microbial peptides. Here we characterise three from the venom of Scorpion maurus palmatus. Smp13 is biologically inactive, despite sharing homology with other antimicrobial peptides, probably because it lacks
