Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are essential elements of thehost defense system.
Characterized by heterogenous structures and broad‐spectrumaction, they are promising …

Many organisms employ antimicrobial peptides to fend off microbial pathogens. Amphibian
skin is one of the most generous sources of these peptides. In the past couple of years …

The ability of five purified amphibian antimicrobial peptides (dermaseptin-1, temporin A,
magainin I, and II, PGLa), crude peptide fractions isolated from the skin of Rana pipiens and …

Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are one of the most common components of the innate
immune system that protect multicellular organisms against microbial invasion. The vast …

Leishmaniasis encompasses a wide range of infections caused by the human parasitic
protozoan species belonging to the Leishmania genus. It appears frequently as an …

The temporins are a family of small, linear antibiotic peptides with intriguing biological
properties. We investigated the antibacterial, haemolytic and cytotoxic activities of temporin …

In an era where the pipeline of new antibiotic development is drying up, the continuous rise
of multi-drug resistant (MDR) and extensively drug resistant (XDR) bacteria are genuine …

Plantaricin A (plA) is a 26-residue bacteria-produced peptide pheromone with membrane-
permeabilizing antimicrobial activity. In this study the interaction of plA with membranes is …

Antimicrobial peptides are produced by all organisms in response to microbial invasion and
are considered as promising candidates for future antibiotics. There is a wealth of evidence …

Antimicrobial and amyloid peptides do not share common sequences, typical secondary
structures, or normal biological activity but both the classes of peptides exhibit membrane …
