Antimicrobial Peptide K11 Selectively Recognizes Bacterial Biomimetic Membranes and Acts by Twisting Their Bilayers

K11 is a synthetic peptide originating from the introduction of a lysine residue in position 11 within the sequence of a rationally designed antibacterial scaffold. Despite its remarkable antibacterial properties towards many ESKAPE bacteria and its optimal therapeutic index (320), a detailed descri...
