Serum stabilities of short tryptophan- and arginine-rich antimicrobial peptide analogs.

Several short antimicrobial peptides that are rich in tryptophan and arginine residues were designed with a series of simple modifications such as end capping and cyclization. The two sets of hexapeptides are based on the Trp- and Arg-rich primary sequences from the "antimicrobial centre"...
