Abstract

Microplusin, a Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus anti-microbial peptide (AMP) is the first member of a new family of cysteine-rich AMPs with histidine-rich regions at the N- and C-termini, which is being fully characterized by biophysical and biochemical methods. Here we report the NMR resonance assignments for (1)H, (15)N, and (13)C nuclei in the backbone and side chains of the microplusin as basis for further studies of structure, backbone dynamics and interactions mapping.
