Host defense antimicrobial peptides are key components of human innate immunity that
plays an indispensible role in human health. While there are multiple copies of cathelicidin …

This review details the antimicrobial applications of inorganic nanomaterials of mostly
metallic form, and the augmentation of activity by surface conjugation of peptide ligands. The …

Natural antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) provide prototypes for the design of unconventional
antimicrobial agents. Existing bulk assays measure AMP activity but do not provide details of …

Abstract KR-12-a5 is a 12-meric α-helical antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with dual
antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities designed from human cathelicidin LL-37. We …

Cathelicidins are a large family of cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) found in mammals
with broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. LL-37 is the sole amphipathic α-helical AMP from …

Heat shock proteins (hsp) are well recognized for their protein folding activity. Additionally,
hsp expression is enhanced during stress conditions to preserve cellular homeostasis. Hsp …

The human cathelicidin LL-37 is a multifunctional peptide of the human innate immune
system. Among the various functions of LL-37, its antimicrobial activity is important in …

Raman spectroscopy is a form of vibrational spectroscopy based on inelastic scattering of
light. In resonance Raman spectroscopy, the wavelength of the incident light falls within an …

Proteins and peptides with hydrophobic and amphiphilic segments are responsible for many
biological functions. The sensing and generation of membrane curvature are the functions of …

We examine the interactions of chitosan and polyethylene glycol (PEG) with antimicrobial
peptide GF-17 to identify a suitable carrier to improve the peptide drug delivery systems. To …
