Lactoferrin is an iron-binding glycoprotein present in most human exocrine fluids,
particularly breast milk. Lactoferrin is also released from neutrophil granules, and its …

Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) damage the cell membrane of bacterial cells and induce
rapid leakage of the internal cell contents, which is a main cause of their bactericidal activity …

This review focuses on the deformation and poration of lipid vesicles caused by the
interaction of anionic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs). Effects of various factors, such as …

The membrane potential plays a significant role in various cellular processes while
interacting with membrane active agents. So far, all the investigations of the interaction of …

Living organisms maintain a resting membrane potential, which plays an important role in
various biophysical and biological processes. In the context of medical applications …

The reconstruction of accurate yet simplified mimetic models of cell membranes is a very
challenging goal of synthetic biology. To date, most of the research focuses on the …

Antimicrobial peptide magainin 2 (Mag) forms nanopores in lipid bilayers and induces
membrane permeation of the internal contents from vesicles. The binding of Mag to the …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) inhibit the proliferation of or kill bacterial cells. To measure
these activities, several methods have been used, which provide only the average value of …

Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) act by killing bacterial cells. However, there is little
information regarding the required interaction time between AMPs and bacterial cells to …

Lactoferrin (LF) is a multifunctional protein with a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activities.
In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial activity of LF against the potato common scab …
