Brevinin vs Buforin II

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

Brevinin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Brevinin peptides are a family of antimicrobial peptides isolated from the skin secretions of Rana esculenta (European edible frog) and related Rana species. They are characterized by a C-terminal disulfide-bridged cyclic heptapeptide (Rana box) that confers structural stability ...

Buforin II
Antimicrobial Peptide

Buforin II is a 21-residue antimicrobial peptide derived from histone H2A in the stomach of the Asian toad Bufo gargarizans. Unlike most AMPs that kill bacteria by membrane disruption, Buforin II translocates across bacterial membranes without causing lysis and kills by binding n...
