Crocodile defensin (CpoBD13) antifungal activity via pH-dependent phospholipid targeting and membrane disruption
Crocodilians are an order of ancient reptiles that thrive in pathogen-rich environments. The ability to inhabit these harsh environments is indicative of a resilient innate immune system. Defensins, a family of cysteine-rich cationic host defence peptides, are a major component of the innate immune...
