| Protein Function | Has bactericidal activity. Active against E.coli ML35 and S.aureus 502A. |
| Biochemical Properties | The N-terminal beta-strand and three locally well-defined tight turns form a hydrophobic face. Conserved isoleucine and glycine residues form a beta-bulge structure which initiates a beta-hairpin secondary structure motif composed of the second and C-terminal beta-strands. The beta-hairpin contains numerous charged residues and forms the cationic face of BNBD-12. The N-terminal residues were found to be disordered. The triple-stranded beta-sheet, the beta-bulge preceding the hairpin, and the cationic/hydrophobic amphiphilic character are definitive features of all defensin structures determined to date. |
