The Central Kink Region of Fowlicidin-2, an [alpha]-Helical Host Defense Peptide, Is Critically Involved in Bacterial Killing and Endotoxin Neutralization

Fowlicidins are a group of newly identified chicken cathelicidin host defense peptides. We have shown that the putatively mature fowlicidin-2 of 31 amino acid residues possesses potent antibacterial and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- neutralizing activities, but with a noticeable toxicity to mammalian ce...
