We wanted to see the difference between the wasp peptide(mastoparan) and the bee peptide (melittin). Loading... Reply
We found research that said bee peptides have antimicrobial properties so we wanted to see if they could work as an antibiotic. Loading... Reply
Is there a difference between these AMPs and standard antibiotics? Is it harder for bacteria to evolve resistance to these? Loading... Reply
Just so they are different, new types of compounds that might be antibiotics, amp or standard antibiotics have been used for the last 20-30 years without any new ones bacteria might start developing resistance to them. Loading... Reply
