Defensins are small proteins, usually ranging from 4 to 6 kDa, amphipathic, disulfide rich, and with a small or even absent hydrophobic core. Since a hydrophobic core is
generally found in globular proteins that fold in an aqueous solvent, the peculiar fold of
defensins can challenge tertiary protein structure predictors. We performed a PDB-wide
survey of small proteins (4-6 kDa) to understand the similarities of defensins ...
