Article Synopsis
- Mustard and rapeseed seeds are not only valuable as oil and food condiments but also have traditional medicinal uses, particularly for pain and infections.
- The study focused on two main proteins found in these seeds, napin and cruciferin, exploring their potential as antimicrobial agents through molecular docking and susceptibility testing.
- Results indicated that napin showed significant antimicrobial activity, while cruciferin did not exhibit such effects, despite both proteins sharing a similar 3D structure with other known antimicrobial proteins.
