Development of Antimicrobial Stapled Peptides Based on Magainin 2 Sequence

Development of Antimicrobial Stapled Peptides Based on Magainin 2 Sequence

Magainin 2 (<b>Mag2</b>), which was isolated from the skin of the African clawed frog, is a representative antimicrobial peptide (AMP) that exerts antimicrobial activity via microbial membrane disruption. It has been reported that the helicity and amphipathicity of <b>Mag2</b>...
