Design of short membrane selective antimicrobial peptides containing tryptophan and arginine residues for improved activity, salt-resistance, and biocompatibility
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) kill microbes by non-specific membrane permeabilization, making them ideal templates for designing novel peptide-based antibiotics that can combat multi-drug resistant pathogens. For maximum efficacy in vivo and in vitro, AMPs must be biocompatible, salt-tolerant and po...
