In silico analysis of antimicrobial peptides from plants.

Plants are constantly exposed to different and varied stress factors. In these conditions plants synthesize antimicrobial peptides as innate host defense response. The investigation of the properties of the antimicrobial peptides is a field of remarkable interest to discover its mechanism of action and develop strategies for new biotechnological applications in medicine and plant protection. In this work were studied the thermodynamic parameters of interactions and the structure stability of defensin Lc-def from germinated lentil ( Lens Culinaris ) seeds by molecular dynamics simulation.
