This review summarizes the theory of zeta potential (ZP) and the most relevant data about
how it has been used for studying bacteria. We have especially focused on the discovery …

Liposomes have gained extensive attention as carriers for a wide range of drugs due to
being both nontoxic and biodegradable as they are composed of substances naturally …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) selectively kill bacteria by disrupting their cell membranes,
and are promising compounds to fight drug-resistant microbes. Biophysical studies on …

The interaction of drugs with biological membranes is a critical factor affecting their
pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, so understanding how drugs interact with …

Cell membrane structure is proposed as a lipid matrix with embedded proteins, and thus,
their emerging mechanical and electrostatic properties are commanded by lipid behavior …

The cecropin-melittin hybrid antimicrobial peptide BP100 (H-KKLFKKILKYL-NH2) is
selective for Gram-negative bacteria, negatively charged membranes, and weakly hemolytic …

The use of hydrogels has garnered significant interest as biomaterial and drug delivery
platforms for anti-infective applications. For decades antimicrobial peptides have been …
