Molecular dynamics simulations of the interactions between plant antimicrobial peptides and lipid membranes

Knottin-type peptides constitute the largest superfamily of gene-encoded plant antimicrobial peptides, which can act as molecular weapons to protect hosts from pathogen attacks. They exist either in a cyclic form as cyclotides or in a linear form as acyclotides. This study is focused on cyclotides,...
