Four enantiomeric 9-mer peptides named d-peptide A, B, C and D were designed and synthesized on the basis of 43-mer insect defensins from two beetles. The d-9-mer peptides maintained bacterial membrane disruptive activity similar to the original pept

Nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity was detected in fat body and the Malpighian tubles of the silkworm, Bombyx mori. Main NO synthase activity in the fat body was Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent, inducible by bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and requir
