Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), also known as host defense peptides (HDPs), are important
effector immune defense molecules in multicellular organisms. AMPs exert their …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are produced by several species including insects,
other animals, micro-organisms and synthesis, are a critical component of the natural …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a large class of innate immunity effectors with a
remarkable capacity to inactivate microorganisms. Their ability to kill bacteria by …

The highly refined organic chemistry in solid-phase synthesis has made it the method of

The purpose of this paper is to introduce and highlight a few classes of traditional
antimicrobial peptides with a focus on structure-activity relationship studies. After first …

Lantibiotics are ribosomally synthesized and posttranslationally modified antimicrobial
compounds containing lanthionine and methyl-lanthionine residues. Nisin, one of the most …

Proline-rich antimicrobial peptides are a group of cationic host defense peptides of
vertebrates and invertebrates characterized by a high content of proline residues, often …

Shorter reaction times, higher product yields, and enhanced selectivity are some of the
advantages microwave heating has over conventional methods, causing its use to transition …

Since the discovery of magainins, cecropins and defensins 30 years ago, antimicrobial
peptides (AMPs) have been hailed as a potential solution to the dearth of novel antibiotic …
