Antimicrobial Peptide Nanomaterials
, 2023 Antimicrobial peptides exist throughout nature and are produced by multicellular organisms as a defence mechanism against pathogenic microbes. Multi-drug resistant bacteria pose a serious threat to public health. In the increasing absence of new antibiotic agents, there is a need for the development of novel strategies to target bacterial infections ...

Antimicrobial Peptides in Action [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006 Molecular dynamics simulations of the magainin MG-H2 peptide interacting with a model phospholipid membrane have been used to investigate the mechanism by which antimicrobial peptides act. Multiple copies of the peptide were randomly placed in solution close to the membrane.

Hydrocarbon Stapled Antimicrobial Peptides [PDF]
The Protein Journal, 2018 Abstract Antimicrobial peptides are promising candidates for anti-infective pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, because of their low proteolytic and chemical stability, their usage is generally narrowed down to topical formulations. Until now, numerous approaches to increase peptide stability have been proposed.
