The emergence of new pathogens and multidrug resistant bacteria is an important public
health issue that requires the development of novel classes of antibiotics. Antimicrobial …

Antimicrobial peptides/proteins (AMPs) are biologically active molecules with diverse
structural properties that are produced by mammals, plants, insects, ticks, and …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are host-encoded antibiotics that combat invading
microorganisms. These short, cationic peptides have been implicated in many biological …

Cecropins are small helical secreted peptides with antimicrobial activity that are widely
distributed among insects. Genes encoding Cecropins are strongly induced upon infection …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are key to defence against infection in plants and animals.
Use of AMP mutations in Drosophila has now revealed that AMPs can additively or …

Cecropins are basic antibacterial peptides that have potent antimicrobial activities. We
induced and purified a novel antimicrobial peptide exhibiting activity against Gram‐negative …

Background Despite the growing demand for antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) for clinical use
as an alternative approach against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, the manufacture of AMPs …

Despite recent medical research and clinical practice developments, the development of
antimicrobial resistance (AMR) significantly limits therapeutics for infectious diseases. Thus …

The interest on detailed analysis of peptide–membrane interactions is of great interest in
both fundamental and applied sciences as these may relate to both functional and …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are ubiquitous components of the insect innate immune
system. The model insect Galleria mellonella has at least 18 AMPs, some of which are still …
