Answer:
antimicrobial peptides
Explanation:
Antimicrobial peptides are short-chained amino acids that are produced as a result of the innate immune defense which can kill various pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
The structure of these antimicrobial peptides consists of a large portion of hydrophobic residues along with positively charged residues such as arginine and lysine.
Antimicrobial peptides employ the use of various mechanisms to combat the pathogens that enter the body. Some of these mechanisms are ;
1. Destabilizastion of membrane.
2. Formation of transmembrane channels
3. Functioning as immunomodulators.
