Advances in the Research and Application of Mammal Defensin / 生物化学与生物物理进展

Defensin is a kind of antimicrobiol and cytotoxic peptides which have been found in a large range of living organisms. The mammal defensins have the most wide range antimicrobiol spectrum. The distribution, structure, gene expression regulation of mammal defensins in China and abroad were summarized. Its application on medicine and plant resistant gene engineering were prospected.
