Although AMPs have the same effect on the cell mambrane, they do not seem to have the same structure. we can find a big variety of structures among familiar AMPs. | Although AMPs have the same effect on the cell mambrane, they do not seem to have the same structure. we can find a big variety of structures among familiar AMPs. | ||
(1) Some have '''helical structures''', for some of the peptide sequence, such as Magainin, (2LSA), or a helical structure throughout the whole peptide, such as Magainin2 (2MAG). this peptide was found on a frog's skin. you can see the page about Magainin2 here : [[Magainin 2]]. | (1) Some have '''helical structures''', for some of the peptide sequence, such as <scene name='67/676980/Magainin_2_simple/1'>Magainin 2</scene>, (2LSA), or a helical structure throughout the whole peptide, such as Magainin2 (2MAG). this peptide was found on a frog's skin. you can see the page about Magainin2 here : [[Magainin 2]]. | ||
