Differential interaction of antimicrobial peptides with lipid structures studied by coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations
(Molecular Diversity Preservation International, 2017-10)
In this work; we investigated the differential interaction of amphiphilic antimicrobial peptides with 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) lipid structures by means of extensive molecular dynamics ...
Lipid selectivity in novel antimicrobial peptides: Implication on antimicrobial and hemolytic activity
(Elsevier Science, 2017-05)
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small cationic molecules that display antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacteria, fungi and viruses. For an AMP to be considered as a therapeutic option, it must have not only ...
Interaction of the antimicrobial peptide ∆M3 with the Staphylococcus aureus membrane and molecular models
(ElsevierGrupo de Bioquímica Estructural de MacromoléculasÁmsterdam, Países Bajos, 2023)
The dynamic action mechanism of small cationic antimicrobial peptides
(Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2014-09)
Antimicrobial peptides form part of the immune system as protection against the action of external pathogens. The differences that exist between mammalian and microbial cell membrane architectures<br />are key aspects of ...
Peptides Derived From the α-Core and γ-Core Regions of a Putative Silybum marianum Flower Defensin Show Antifungal Activity Against Fusarium graminearum
(Frontiers Media, 2021-02-17)
Fusarium graminearum is the etiological agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), a disease that produces a significant decrease in wheat crop yield and it is further aggravated by the presence of mycotoxins in the affected ...
In vivo bactericidal efficacy of gwh1 antimicrobial peptide displayed on protein nanoparticles, a potential alternative to antibiotics
(MDPI AG, 2020-12)
Oligomerization of antimicrobial peptides into nanosized supramolecular complexes produced in biological systems (inclusion bodies and self-assembling nanoparticles) seems an appealing alternative to conventional antibiotics. ...
Molecular view by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy of the relationship between lactocin 705 and membranes: Speculations on antimicrobial mechanism
(American Society for Microbiology, 2007-01-20)
Lactocin 705 is a bacteriocin whose activity depends upon the complementation of two peptides, termed Lac705α and Lac705β. Neither Lac705α nor Lac705β displayed bacteriocin activity by itself when the growth of sensitive ...
Somuncurins: bioactive peptides from the skin of the endangered endemic patagonian frog pleurodema somuncurense
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03)
The skin glands of amphibian species hold a major component of their innate immunity, namely a unique set of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Although most of them have common characteristics, differences in AMP sequences ...
Bactericidal and Hemolytic Activities of Synthetic Peptides Derived from Granulysin
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2010-04)
Granulysin is a human polypeptide produced by cytolytic cells active against a broad range of microbes. Three peptides covering the regions 25-50 (Gr-1 and Gr-2) and 39-62 (Gr-3) of granulysin were synthesized, and their ...
