The emergence of drug-resistant genes and concerns about food safety caused by the
overuse of antibiotics are becoming increasingly prominent. There is an urgent need for …

Milk-derived antibacterial peptides (ABPs) are protein fragments with a positive influence on
the functions and conditions of a living organism. Milk-derived ABPs have several useful …

Nanostructured protein materials show exciting biomedical applications, since both structure
and function can be genetically programmed. In particular, self-assembling histidine-rich …

Protegrin-1 (PG-1) is a cationic β-hairpin pore-forming antimicrobial peptide having a
membranolytic mechanism of action. It possesses in vitro a potent antimicrobial activity …

In recent years, the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is increasing rapidly. There
is growing concern as the development of antibiotics is slower than the increase in the …

Abstract Porcine protegrin-1 (PG-1) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with
potent antimicrobial activities. We produced recombinant PG-1 and evaluated its cytotoxicity …

Sustainment of aviation fuel infrastructure is expensive and requires frequent testing for
hydrocarbon-degrading microbes to assure safeguarding of fuel quality and engineering …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising alternatives to existing treatments for multidrug-
resistant bacteria-infected wounds. Therefore, the effect of protegrin-1 (PG1), a potent …

Bacteriocins are functionally diverse toxins produced by most microbes and are potent
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) for bacterial ghosts as next generation vaccines. Here, we …

Semiconductor quantum dots are overwhelmingly used for in situ monitoring and imaging of
cell–scaffold interactions. However, quantum dots suffer from oxidative biodegradation in …
