melittinn.

Brit.

/mɛˈlɪtɪn/, U.S.

/mɛˈlɪdᵻn/

Forms: 1900s mellitin (irregular), 1900s– melittin.

Origin: A borrowing from German. Etymon: German Melittin.

Etymology: < German Melittin (E. Habermann 1954, in Arch. f. exper. Pathol. u. Pharm. 222 173) < ancient Greek (Attic) μέλιττα bee (see melissa n.) + German -in -in suffix¹.

Biochemistry.

A peptide, containing 26 amino acids, which is present in bee venom and has been used experimentally as an antibacterial agent, esp. against penicillin-resistant bacteria.

ΚΠ

1961 Biochem. Zeitschr. 335 60 An improved chromatographic method is described for the preparation of mellitin, the main compound of the bee venom.

1965 Biochem. Zeitschr. 343 192 The two basic bee venom polypeptides melittin and apamin.

1968 Proc. Soc. Exper. Biol. & Med. 127 707/1 It was noted that one of the fractions, melittin, possesses potent antibacterial properties.

1987 Nature 6 Aug. 478/1 The peptide melittin, for example, is the main toxic component of honeybee venom and its structure has been studied in detail.
