Variations in the interaction of human defensins with Escherichia coli: Possible implications in bacterial killing

Human α and β-defensins are cationic antimicrobial peptides characterized by three disulfide bonds with a triple stranded β-sheet motif. It is presumed that interaction with the bacterial cell surface and membrane permeabilization by defensins is an important step in the killing process. In this stu...
