In the last 20 years, an increasing number of studies have been reported on membrane
active peptides. These peptides exert their biological activity by interacting with the cell
membrane, either to disrupt it and lead to cell lysis or to translocate through it to deliver
cargos into the cell and reach their target. Membrane active peptides are attractive
alternatives to currently used pharmaceuticals and the number of antimicrobial peptides
(AMPs) and peptides designed for drug and gene delivery in the drug pipeline is increasing …
