Worms’ Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]
Marine Drugs, 2019 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are natural antibiotics produced by all living organisms. In metazoans, they act as host defense factors by eliminating microbial pathogens. But they also help to select the colonizing bacterial symbionts while coping with specific environmental challenges.

A Review of Structural Characteristics and Structure-Function Relationship of Two-Peptide (Class IIb) Bacteriocins [PDF]
Shipin Kexue, 2023 The two-peptide (class IIb) bacteriocins are generally thermostable small-molecule (< 10 kDa) two-component antimicrobial peptides produced by Gram-positive bacteria.

The rational search for selective anticancer derivatives of the peptide Trichogin GA IV: a multi-technique biophysical approach [PDF]
, 2016 Peptaibols are peculiar peptides produced by fungi as weapons against other microorganisms. Previous studies showed that peptaibols are promising peptide-based drugs because they act against cell membranes rather than a specific target, thus lowering the

Targeted Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2012 The existence of natural antimicrobial substances, contributing to the mechanisms of host defenses, has been recognized since the late nineteenth century. In 1963, the in vitro antibacterial activity of leukocyte extracts was attributed to basic proteins.

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 ...

Chain-end modifications and sequence arrangements of antimicrobial peptoids for mediating activity and nano-assembly [PDF]
, 2020 Poly(N-substituted glycine) “peptoids” are an interesting class of peptidomimics that can resist proteolysis and mimic naturally found antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which exhibit wide spectrum activity against bacteria.

Peptide Antimicrobial Agents [PDF]
Clinical Microbiology Reviews, 2006 SUMMARYAntimicrobial host defense peptides are produced by all complex organisms as well as some microbes and have diverse and complex antimicrobial activities. Collectively these peptides demonstrate a broad range of antiviral and antibacterial activities and modes of action, and it is important to distinguish between direct microbicidal and indirect ...
