Abstract Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) have been considered as potential alternatives for
infection therapeutics since antibiotic resistance has been raised as a global problem. The …

Fungi have been used since ancient times in food and beverage-making processes and,
more recently, have been harnessed for the production of antibiotics and in processes of …

This paper describes in silico models developed using a wide range of peptide features for
predicting antifungal peptides (AFPs). Our analyses indicate that certain types of residue …

Small, cysteine-rich and cationic proteins with antimicrobial activity are produced by diverse
organisms of all kingdoms and represent promising molecules for drug development. The …

Filamentous fungi encode distinct antifungal proteins (AFPs) that offer great potential to
develop new antifungals. Fungi are considered immune to their own AFPs as occurs in …

The filamentous fungus Penicillium chrysogenum Q176 secretes the antimicrobial proteins
(AMPs) PAF and PAFB, which share a compact disulfide-bond mediated, β-fold structure …

Small, cysteine-rich and cationic antimicrobial proteins (AMPs) from filamentous
ascomycetes represent ideal bio-molecules for the development of next-generation …

Because of enormous crop losses worldwide due to pesticide-resistant plant pathogenic
fungi, there is an increasing demand for the development of novel antifungal strategies in …

Plant pathogenic fungi are responsible for enormous crop losses worldwide. Overcoming
this problem is challenging as these fungi can be highly resistant to approved chemical …

The increasing number of life-threatening Candida infections caused by antifungal drug-
resistant strains urges the development of new therapeutic strategies. The small, cysteine …
