    Annotation Defensins are part of the innate immune system in plants with activity against a broad range of pathogens,including bacteria, fungi and viruses. Several defensins from conifers, including Scots pine defensin 1(Pinus sylvestris defensin 1, (PsDef1)) have shown a strong antifungal activity, however structural andphysico-chemical properties of the family, needed for establishing the structure-dynamics-function rela-tionships, remain poorly characterized. We use several spectroscopic and computational methods tocharacterize the structure, dynamics, and oligomeric state of PsDef1. The three-dimensional structure wasmodeled by comparative modeling using several programs (Geno3D, SWISS-MODEL, I-TASSER, Phyre2,and FUGUE) and verified by circular dichroism (CD) and infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Furthermore, FTIRdata indicates that the structure of PsDef1 is highly resistant to high temperatures. NMR diffusion experi-ments show that defensin exists in solution in the equilibrium between monomers
