The acidic latex protein from <i>Hevea brasiliensis</i> serves as an anionic antimicrobial peptide
Antimicrobial properties and chitinase activity of Hev b5 underline its potential as an anionic antimicrobial peptide, offering both antifungal and antibacterial defenses. These findings position Hev b5 as a promising candidate for further research in antimicrobial peptide applications.
