Targeting nucleic acid phase transitions as a mechanism of action for antimicrobial peptides
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which combat bacterial infections by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane or interacting with intracellular targets, are naturally produced by a number of different organisms, and are increasingly also explored as therapeutics. However, the mechanisms by whi...
