Drosocin

Drosocin is a proline-rich antimicrobial peptide from Drosophila. The synthetic nonglycosylated sequence provides a defined model for insect innate immunity, ribosome-targeting antimicrobial mechanisms and peptide analog studies.

• antimicrobial and host-defense peptide research
• membrane interaction studies
• innate-immunity research
• peptide structure-function analysis

Exact sequence, amidation state, glycosylation state and terminal chemistry define the reagent. Compare only sequence- and modification-matched forms in quantitative antimicrobial or membrane assays.
