Comparative Determination of Melittin by Capillary Electrophoretic Methods

Bee venom from honey bees (Apis Mellifera L.) is known to have many pharmacological and biological properties. Melittin, a peptide consisting of 26 amino acids, is known as the main component of bee venom. The study aims to develop a rapid capillary electrophoresis method for separating and quantify...
