Abstract

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play an important role in this response by rapidly killing invading microorganisms. In this study antimicrobial peptide has been isolated from acidified whole body extract of a bivalve mollusk, the marine mussel (Mytilus coruscus). This peptide purified to homogeneity by gel-filtration and reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The molecular weight was 1464.92 Da, determined by MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry. In addition to growth inhibition of Escherichia coli D31.

흥합 (Mytilus coruscus) 추출물 RM 60을 사용하여 E. coli D31을 대상으로 항균활성 펩타이드를 분리 정제하였다. 정제한 펩타이드는 MALDI-TOF Mass spectrometry를 사용하여 분자량을 측정한 결과, 1464.92 Da로 나타났으며 Edman 분해법을 이용한 peptide sequencer를 사용하여 일차구조를 분석 중에 있다.
