Computer-Aided Design of Antimicrobial Peptides: Are We Generating Effective Drug Candidates?

Computer-Aided Design of Antimicrobial Peptides: Are We Generating Effective Drug Candidates?

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), especially antibacterial peptides, have been widely investigated as potential alternatives to antibiotic-based therapies. Indeed, naturally occurring and synthetic AMPs have shown promising results against a series of clinically relevant bacteria. Even so, this class o...
