Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a formidable challenge in global health, marked by the declining effectiveness of traditional antibiotics against ...
The Structural and Functional Diversity of Peptides Studies suggest that peptides may exhibit remarkable diversity in structure and function, which arises from variations in amino acid composition, ...
This and other advanced display technologies have accelerated the de novo discovery of functional cyclic peptides. Proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (PrAMPs) are inhibitors of bacterial protein ...
Over the past few decades, citrus trees across the country have fallen victim to citrus greening, a disease that has wiped out large swaths of Florida’s once-thriving orange groves.
The components of this defense mechanism can be divided into normal vaginal flora, antimicrobial peptides, cytokines and immune cells. All these components interact in order to maintain homeostasis.
In the Nanovision project, researchers at Empa and the Cantonal Hospital of St. Gallen are developing novel nanocomplexes that kill resistant germs and protect the eye tissue at the same time. In ...
The bacterial cell wall is crucial to maintain viability. It has previously been suggested that Gram-positive bacteria have a periplasmic region between the cell membrane and peptidoglycan cell wall ...
