Design and evaluation of tadpole-like conformational antimicrobial peptides

Communications Biology, 2023
Antimicrobial peptides are promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. Herein, we report a class of “tadpole-like” peptides consisting of an amphipathic α-helical head and an aromatic tail.

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.

Targeting Multidrug Resistance With Antimicrobial Peptide-Decorated Nanoparticles and Polymers

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
As a category of small peptides frequently found in nature, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) constitute a major part of the innate immune system of various organisms. Antimicrobial peptides feature various inhibitory effects against fungi, bacteria, viruses,

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.

Molecular genetic design strategies for improving stability of feed antimicrobial peptides

Siliao yanjiu, 2023
Feeding antimicrobial peptides have a special physical membrane breaking bactericidal mechanism and are not easy to produce drug resistance. However, naturally occurring or self-designed antimicrobial peptides are faced with the problem of low ...

Legume Plant Peptides as Sources of Novel Antimicrobial Molecules Against Human Pathogens

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Antimicrobial peptides are prominent components of the plant immune system acting against a wide variety of pathogens. Legume plants from the inverted repeat lacking clade (IRLC) have evolved a unique gene family encoding nodule-specific cysteine-rich ...

Wheat antimicrobial peptides

Russian Journal of Genetics: Applied Research, 2013
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are low-molecular-weight defense polypeptides, produced in all living organisms either constitutively or upon perception of signals from pathogenic microorganisms. They are important components of the immune system in both animals and plants. AMPs differ in structure and mode of action. Most of them belong to cysteine-rich

Research progress of antimicrobial peptides produced by genetically engineered

Siliao yanjiu, 2021
Antimicrobial peptide is one of the most potential substitutes for antibacterials in feed additives. High yield, low cost and short time consumption are the best schemes for large-scale production of antimicrobial peptides by genetic engineering 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 ...
