Biophysical Investigations Elucidating the Mechanisms of Action of Antimicrobial Peptides and Their Synergism

Biophysical and structural investigations are presented with a focus on the membrane lipid interactions of cationic linear antibiotic peptides such as magainin, PGLa, LL37, and melittin. Observations made with these peptides are distinct as seen from data obtained with the hydrophobic peptide alamet...
