Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating and examining new functionalized asymmetric Gemini surfactants using a click-reaction method, highlighting the synthesis of alkyl- and azide-substituted variants.
- The research measures the critical aggregation concentration values and investigates how these surfactants bind to bovine serum albumin (BSA) through fluorescence spectroscopy and light scattering techniques.
- Findings reveal that the surfactants can alter their binding mechanism with BSA and that their interaction behaviors can be fully characterized using various scientific methods.
Defensins are important components of the innate plant immune system, exhibiting antimicrobial activity against phytopathogens, as well as against fungi pathogenic to humans. Along with antifungal activity, plant defensins are also capable of influencing various immune processes, but not much is known about these effects. In this study, we investigated the immunomodulatory effects of the tobacco defensin NaD1, which possesses a pronounced antifungal activity.

Many of the animal proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (PrAMPs) inhibit the process of bacterial translation. Genome projects allowed to identify immune-related genes encoding animal host defense peptides.

Although these peptides are structurally related to the subclass IIa (pediocin-like) bacteriocins, they have significant differences in biological activities and, probably, a mechanism of their antimicrobial action. A representative of this subfamily is acidocin A from TK9201.
