Design Notes

As an antimicrobial peptide that is not homologous to any AMPs currently known, cPcAMP1, is identified from Paramecium Caudatum and is able to treat A. hydrophila. The cPcAMP1 has the capacity to increase the permeability of bacterial cell membrane and depolarize bacterial cells. Furthermore, the cPcAMP1 is not toxic to eukaryotic cells so when it is applied to the fishes, it causes no harm.
