Characterization of bioactive peptides from animal venom and investigation of action mechanisms of peptides that can activate plant defence system
Overview of the research
We are trying to isolate and identify various kinds of biologically active peptides from animal venom such as scorpions. We also synthesize the peptides to study the relationship between structure and activity. In addition, we are trying to elucidate the action mechanisms of peptides that can activate the plant defense system using various synthetic analogues.
