Tuning of a Membrane-Perforating Antimicrobial Peptide to Selectively Target Membranes of Different Lipid Composition

Abstract The use of designed antimicrobial peptides as drugs has been impeded by the absence of simple sequence-structure–function relationships and design rules. The likely cause is that many of these peptides permeabilize membranes via highly disordered, heterogeneous mechanisms, fo...
