A theoretical approach to spot active regions in antimicrobial proteins
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Much effort goes into identifying new antimicrobial compounds able to evade the increasing resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics. One strategy relies on antimicrobial peptides, either derived from fragments released by proteoly...
