Purification and partial characterization of an antiviral active peptide from Melia azedarach L.
A peptide associated with antiviral activity, isolated from the high plant Melia azedarach L. was purified and partially characterized. Crude extracts of green leaf were purified by gel filtration on Sephadex G-100 followed by DEAE-Sephadex A-25. After column chromatography purification, an active c...
