Structure, Function, and Physicochemical Properties of Pore-forming Antimicrobial Peptides
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2023 Oct 25. doi: 10.2174/0113892010194428231017051836. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAntimicrobial peptides (AMPs), a class of antimicrobial agents, possess considerable potential to treat various microbial ailments. The broad range of activity and rare complete bacterial resistance to AMPs make them ideal candidates for commercial development. These peptides with widely varying compositions and sources share recurrent structural and functional features in mechanisms of action. Studying the mechanisms of AMP activity against bacteria may lead to the development of new antimicrobial agents that are m...
