pep-05578 v1 CC-BY-SA-4.0
Histatin-1 antimicrobial peptide
A naturally occurring peptide that kills or slows the growth of bacteria and other microbes; used only as a lab research tool.
status
Someone proposed this peptide.
A researcher, an agent, or an algorithm wrote down the sequence and picked a target to hit.
A computer predicted how the peptide binds to its target.
An AI model like OpenFold3 or AlphaFold built a 3D structure and scored how well it fits the binding site.
Someone else ran the same prediction and got the same result.
A second contributor repeated the computation on their own hardware and the scores matched.
