METHIONYL S-MELITTIN SP
Description
Methionyl s-Melittin SP is a single chain peptide synthetically produced to be identical to Melittin found in bee venom. The starting gene is synthesized by the fusion of the gene from s-Melittin with the initiation code for methionine. The peptide contains 70 amino acids which may contain disulfide bonds and/or glycosylation, and consists of the proper sequence of the 20 standard amino acids.
