Antibiotic resistance is projected as one of the greatest threats to human health in the future
and hence alternatives are being explored to combat resistance. Antimicrobial peptides …

The discovery of antibiotics marked a golden age in the revolution of human medicine.
However, decades later, bacterial infections remain a global healthcare threat, and a return …

In order to colonize abiotic surfaces, bacteria and fungi undergo a profound change in their
biology to form biofilms: communities of microbes embedded into a matrix of secreted …

In the last 20 years, an increasing number of studies have been reported on membrane
active peptides. These peptides exert their biological activity by interacting with the cell …

Within the parent protein molecule, most peptides are inactive, and they are released with
biofunctionalities after enzymatic hydrolysis. Marine algae have high protein content, up to …

Fluorescence is widely used to detect functional groups and ions, and peptides are used in
various fields due to their excellent biological activity. In recent years, research on …

Peptide drugs hold great promise for the treatment of infectious diseases thanks to their
novel mechanisms of action, low toxicity, high specificity, and ease of synthesis and …

Peptides in general hold much promise as a major ingredient in novel supramolecular
assemblies. They may become essential in vaccine design, antimicrobial chemotherapy …

Because antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are potentially useful for the treatment of multidrug-
resistant infections, more attention is being paid to the structural modification and structure …

Contamination of pathogenic bacteria seriously threatens human health and safety, and the
types and pathogenicity of bacteria are closely related to cell walls. Fluorescent probes can …
