Abstract: HighlightsAbout 70 fungal defensin‐like peptides (fDLPs) in five new genera were identified.A new synthetic defensin (scedosporisin) was characterized and found active against several clinical resistant bacteria.A local hydrophobic patch of scedosporisin‐2 is experimentally identified as… read more here.
