Latarcins, Antimicrobial and Cytolytic Peptides from the Venom of the Spider Lachesana tarabaevi (Zodariidae) That Exemplify Biomolecular Diversity

Seven novel short linear antimicrobial and cytolytic peptides named latarcins were purified from the venom of the spider Lachesana tarabaevi. These peptides were found to produce lytic effects on cells of diverse origin (Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, erythrocytes, and yeast) at micromola...
