Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising novel antibiotics since they have shown
antimicrobial activity against a wide range of bacterial species, including multiresistant …

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 …

A (FeII) 6-coordinated triply interlocked (“Star of David”)[2] catenane (612 link) and a (FeII) 5-
coordinated pentafoil (51) knot are found to selectively transport anions across phospholipid …

Peptaibols are a large family of linear, amphipathic polypeptides consisting of 5-20 amino
acid residues generated from the fungal nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) pathway …

Biophysical and structural studies of peptide–lipid interactions, peptide topology and
dynamics have changed our view on how antimicrobial peptides insert and interact with …

The broad range of applications of synchrotron and neutron scattering in the investigation of
soft condensed matter is reviewed. Appropriate combinations of these techniques allow …

Multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria have increased the prevalence of a variety of
serious diseases in modern times. Polymyxins are used as the last-line therapeutic options …

Covering: 2009 to Spring 2014 Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are a primary
modality for fungal peptidic natural product assembly and are responsible for some of the …

The synthetic biology toolbox lacks extendable and conformationally controllable yet easy-to-
synthesize building blocks that are long enough to span membranes. To meet this need, an …

Plasmonic nanostructures show important properties for biotechnological applications, but
they have to be guided on the target for exploiting their potentialities. Antibodies are the …
