Design and characterization of short antimicrobial peptides using leucine zipper templates with selectivity towards microorganisms

A Ahmad, S Azmi, S Srivastava, A Kumar, JK Tripathi… - Amino Acids, 2014 - Springer
Abstract Design of antimicrobial peptides with selective activity towards microorganisms is
an important step towards the development of new antimicrobial agents. Leucine zipper
sequence has been implicated in cytotoxic activity of naturally occurring antimicrobial
peptides; moreover, this motif has been utilized for the design of novel antimicrobial
peptides with modulated cytotoxicity. To understand further the impact of substitution of
amino acids at 'a'and/or 'd'position of a leucine zipper sequence of an antimicrobial peptides …
