Cyclic Peptides as Novel Therapeutic Microbicides: Engineering of Human Defensin Mimetics

Cyclic Peptides as Novel Therapeutic Microbicides: Engineering of Human Defensin Mimetics

Cyclic peptides are receiving significant attention thanks to their antimicrobial activity and high serum stability, which is useful to develop and design novel antimicrobial agents. Antimicrobial peptides appear to be key components of innate defences against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Among the...
