Host defence peptides (HDPs) are integral components of innate immunity across all living
organisms. These peptides can exert direct antibacterial effects, targeting planktonic cells …

Current research has demonstrated that small cationic amphipathic peptides have strong
potential not only as antimicrobials, but also as antibiofilm agents, immune modulators, and …

Introduction: The recent dramatic increase in the incidence of antimicrobial resistance has
been recognized by organizations such as the United Nations and World Health …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which combat bacterial infections by disrupting the bacterial
cell membrane or interacting with intracellular targets, are naturally produced by a number of …

Biophysical and structural investigations are presented with a focus on the membrane lipid
interactions of cationic linear antibiotic peptides such as magainin, PGLa, LL37, and melittin …

There is a pressing need for new therapeutics to combat multidrug-and carbapenem-
resistant bacterial pathogens. This challenge prompted us to use a long short-term memory …

Even 30 years after the discovery of magainins, biophysical and structural investigations on
how these peptides interact with membranes can still bear surprises and add new …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are considered alternatives to classical antibiotics and may
become an excellent candidate for tackling antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture …

Antibiotics have been regarded as the emerging contaminants because of their massive use
in humans and veterinary medicines and their persistence in the environment. The global …

Piscidins are histidine-enriched antimicrobial peptides that interact with lipid bilayers as
amphipathic α-helices. Their activity at acidic and basic pH in vivo makes them promising …
