BigPEN, an antimicrobial peptide of penaeidin family from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei with membrane permeable and DNA binding activity

Penaeidins are members of an antimicrobial peptide (AMP) family that have broad anti-microbial activities only found in penaeid shrimps. The LvBigPEN, a member of penaeidins from shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, has showed antiviral activity against white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) in our previous repor...
