Abstract
The antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are evolutionary ancient tools which are widespread in the animal and plant kingdom. These small cationic peptides are multifunctional as innate immune effectors and have a fundamental role in the evolution of complex multicellular organisms. These peptides from different sources are extracted through a variety of techniques. The technique varies and is dependent upon the nature of the source. The crude peptides extracted from natural sources are purified by a variety of techniques depending on the nature and purpose of the peptides. This chapter discusses some of the routine and state-of-the-art techniques used for the purification and characterization of antimicrobial peptides.
