Apidaecin vs Tigerinin

Apidaecin vs Tigerinin — mechanism, half-life, dosing, and research status compared. Which is right for your protocol?

Apidaecin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Apidaecins are proline-rich antimicrobial peptides from the hemolymph of honeybees (Apis mellifera). Unlike membrane-disrupting AMPs, apidaecins kill bacteria exclusively through intracellular ribosome targeting after transporter-mediated uptake, similar to Bac7 and PR-39....

Tigerinin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Tigerinin peptides are isolated from the skin of the Indian skipper frog Hoplobatrachus tigerinus. They are among the shortest naturally occurring AMPs....
