A dimeric 34-kDa antifungal protein, designated as acafusin, was purified from Acacia confusa seeds using Q-Sepharose, DEAE-cellulose, Mono S and Superdex S75. It demonstrated antifungal activity toward Rhizoctonia solani with an IC50 of 28 μM. Acafusin inhibited the activity of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase mildly with an IC50 of 80 μM.

More about this publication?
  • Protein & Peptide Letters publishes short papers in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, drug design etc. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallisation, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins are acceptable. Purely theoretical papers are also acceptable provided they provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function.
