Effects of the substitution of amino acid residues, through chemical synthesis, on the conformation and activity of antimicrobial peptides

<p><em>Antimicrobial peptides make up an assorted group of molecules which contain from 12 to 50 amino acid residues and which may be produced by microorganisms, plants and animals. From the discovery that these biomolecules are lethal to bacteria, inhibiting the pathogenic organism’s gr...
