Bioactive peptides/proteins from medicinal plants
Research on antimicrobial peptides is a fast growing scientific field. First reports date from the 1970’s, where peptides with antimicrobial properties be purified from plants. Since then a growing number of new proteins with similar function have been found in different organisms. Most of these proteins are active against a broad spectrum of microorganisms.
Recently, I am Interested in:
Isolation, purification and characterization of peptides/proteins from medicinal plants.
In future, the characterized proteins will be expressed in suitable host and used as drug ingredients and natural preservatives.
