EcAMP-1 antimicrobial peptide from barnyard grass (Echinochloa crus-galli)

EcAMP-1 is derived from the grass species Echinochloa crus-galli. It consists of 37 amino acids and is helical in structure, held together by two disulfide bonds. This feature enables a unique hairpin structure which is not found in most other AMPs. EcAMP-1 has shown to have a toxic affect against a variety of fungi and protists. The mode of action for EcAMP-1 against fungi appears to be the prevention of hyphae elongation (Nolde et al., 2011). RFC 23 compatible. Contains ATG (methionine).
