Generation of novel cationic antimicrobial peptides from natural non-antimicrobial sequences by acid-amide substitution
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAMPs) are well recognized to be promising as novel antimicrobial and antitumor agents. To obtain novel skeletons of CAMPs, we propose a simple strategy using acid-amide substitution (i.e. Glu→Gln, As...
