Abstract: The effect of low concentrations of peptide compounds of hemolymph of wax moth larvae on the kinetic characteristics of alkaline phosphatase of E. coli was studied. Activating effect of one of the components of chromatographic fractions of hemolymph on the rate of phosphatase reaction after 2–4 minutes after the addition of substrate. It is assumed that the peptide compounds in small doses can have a regulatory effect on the activity of enzymes of E. coli.

Keywords: antimicrobial peptides; Galleria mellonella; larvae, alkaline phosphatase.
