Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) take part in the immune system by mounting a first line of
defense against pathogens. Recurrent structural and functional aspects are observed …

There has been increasing interest in recent years in describing the lateral organization of
membranes and the formation of membrane domains. Much of the focus in this area has …

Membranes are targets of host defence or antimicrobial peptides, effector molecules of
innate immunity that evolved in nature to contend with invaders as an active system of …

A wide range of chemical structures having antimicrobial activity have been studied in an
effort to treat the increasing emergence of bacteria that are resistant to traditional antibiotics …

The diversity in structures and physical properties of lipids provides a wide variety of
possible interactions with proteins that affect their assembly, organization, and function …

We discuss in this review the regulation of synthesis and action of FtsZ, its structure in
relation to tubulin and microtubules, and the mechanism of polymerization and disassembly …

To detect and characterize membrane domains that have been proposed to exist in bacteria,
two kinds of pyrene‐labelled phospholipids, 2‐pyrene‐decanoyl‐phosphatidylethanolamine …

As a result of their unique physical properties, biological membrane mimetics, such as
liposomes, are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications …

The Bacillus subtilis membrane contains diacylglycerol-based lipids with at least five distinct
headgroups that together help to define the physical and chemical properties of the lipid …

The proteins encoded by chromosomal homologues of the parA and parB genes of many
bacterial plasmids have been implicated in chromosome partitioning. Unlike their plasmid …
