Discovery and Characterization of a Disulfide-Locked C(2)-Symmetric Defensin Peptide
[Image: see text] We report the discovery of HD5-CD, an unprecedented C(2)-symmetric β-barrel-like covalent dimer of the cysteine-rich host-defense peptide human defensin 5 (HD5). Dimerization results from intermonomer disulfide exchange between the canonical α-defensin Cys(II)–Cys(IV) (Cys(5)–Cys(2...
