Divalent Metal Cations Increase the Activity of the Antimicrobial Peptide Kappacin

Kappacin, nonglycosylated κ-casein(106-169), is a novel antimicrobial peptide produced from κ-casein found in bovine milk. There are two major genetic forms of kappacin, A and B, and using synthetic peptides corresponding to the active region, κ-casein(138-158), of these forms, we have shown that th...
