Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are distributed across all kingdoms of life and are an
indispensable component of host defenses. They consist of predominantly short cationic …

Host defence peptides (HDPs) are short, cationic amphipathic peptides with diverse
sequences that are produced by various cells and tissues in all complex life forms. HDPs …

Cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are an intrinsic part of the human innate immune
system. Over 100 different human AMPs are known to exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short peptidic molecules produced by most living
creatures. They help unicellular organisms to successfully compete for nutrients with other …

Defensins are a family of cationic antimicrobial peptides active against a broad range of
infectious microbes including bacteria, viruses and fungi, playing important roles as innate …

The production of natural antibiotic peptides has emerged as an important mechanism of
innate immunity in plants and animals. Defensins are diverse members of a large family of …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are potent, mostly cationic, and amphiphilic broad-spectrum
host defense antimicrobials that are produced by all organisms ranging from prokaryotes to …
