Mechanistic analysis of antimicrobial peptide membrane interactions by molecular dynamics simulation

The world emergence of the bacterial superbugs has limited the effectiveness of the available antibiotics in the clinic. Because of the multifaceted antimicrobial mechanism of actions, cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) may be considered as promising molecules to

Antimicrobial peptides: the future of tuberculosis therapeutics?

Tuberculosis (TB) is a life-threatening disease that caused 1.2 million deaths, of a total 9.6 million new diagnosed cases, in 2014 alone, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO). These data rank TB on top
