Methods and tools

  • Hellbender skin AMPs: Bioprospects the skin secretions of Cryptobranchus alleganiensis, the hellbender salamander, for antimicrobial peptide candidates. Solid-phase extraction enrichment and Orbitrap Fusion acquisition, PEAKS de novo sequencing of the secretion peptides, then antimicrobial prediction over the de novo sequences. The third GMU host-defence peptide record in the catalog, alongside the red-legged salamander and hemp seed abstracts from the same lab.
