Current Biology, 2016 Antimicrobial peptides and proteins (AMPs) are a diverse class of naturally occurring molecules that are produced as a first line of defense by all multicellular organisms. These proteins can have broad activity to directly kill bacteria, yeasts, fungi, viruses and even cancer cells.

Pharmaceuticals, 2013 The rapid increase in drug-resistant infections has presented a serious challenge to antimicrobial therapies. The failure of the most potent antibiotics to kill “superbugs” emphasizes the urgent need to develop other control agents. Here we review the history and new development of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a growing class of natural and synthetic

The first salamander defensin antimicrobial peptide. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Antimicrobial peptides have been widely identified from amphibian skins except salamanders. A novel antimicrobial peptide (CFBD) was isolated and characterized from skin secretions of the salamander, Cynops fudingensis.

Prediction of antimicrobial activity of a food peptide and evaluation of its effectiveness in vitro
Vestnik MGTU, 2023 Food antimicrobial peptides are increasingly relevant in the treatment of bacterial infections and have a number of advantages in comparison with drugs: slower emergence of resistance in bacterial strains, high activity against antibiotic films and ...

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012 A number of physicochemical characteristics have been described which contribute to the biological activity of antimicrobial peptides. This information was used to design a novel antimicrobial peptide sequence by using an intrinsically inactive membrane ...
