Phylloseptin
Antimicrobial Peptide

Phylloseptins are a family of short, C-terminally amidated alpha-helical antimicrobial peptides isolated from the skin secretions of South American Phyllomedusa frogs. Unlike the related dermaseptins from the same genus, phylloseptins are shorter (19 residues) and show a distinct...
