Question 267

Multiple Choice

Passage
Antimicrobial peptides are an important component of innate immunity.  Since their discovery in 1939, over 5,000 peptides with antimicrobial properties have been isolated from organisms in every domain of life.  They have demonstrated activity against enveloped viruses, bacteria, fungi, and even tumor cells and have recently gained interest for their potential in fighting antibiotic-resistant bacteria.  Most known antimicrobial peptides are positively charged, but some with negative charges have also been discovered.Frogs are known to secrete a variety of antimicrobial peptides as a major source of immunity.  Secretions from a new species of frog were collected and the peptides were separated by cation exchange chromatography.  Four of the isolated peptides demonstrated strong antibacterial activity and were characterized by isoelectric focusing and sequencing:
