Amphibian skin is directly exposed to different environments. Amphibians interact with
environmental factors including microorganisms, parasites, predators, and physical factors …

With the accelerating growth of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), there is an urgent need for
new antimicrobial agents with low or no AMR. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been …

Anuran tissues, and especially skin, are a rich source of bioactive peptides and their
precursors. We here present a manually curated database of antimicrobial and other …

The very amino-terminal domain of the huntingtin protein is directly located upstream of the
protein's polyglutamine tract, plays a decisive role in several important properties of this …

The biological activity of antimicrobial peptides and proteins is closely related to their
structural aspects and is sensitive to certain post-translational modifications such as …

Several simple secondary structures could form complex and diverse functional proteins,
meaning that secondary structures may contain a lot of hidden information and are arranged …

Biophysical and structural studies of cationic amphipathic antimicrobial peptides have
revealed new mechanistic details concerning their membrane interactions. In interfacial …

In this review we discuss the role of ATP synthase as a molecular drug target for natural and
synthetic antimicrobial/antitumor peptides. We start with an introduction of the universal …

Dermaseptin B2 (Drs B2) is a 33-residue-long cationic, α-helical antimicrobial peptide
endowed with membrane-damaging activity against a broad spectrum of microorganisms …

Solid-state NMR spectroscopy is a powerful technique for the investigation of membrane-
associated peptides and proteins as well as their interactions with lipids, and a variety of …
