Interaction Between Antimicrobial Peptides and Phospholipid Membranes : Effects of Peptide Length and Composition

Interaction Between Antimicrobial Peptides and Phospholipid Membranes : Effects of Peptide Length and Composition

Due to increasing problems with bacterial resistance development, there is a growing need for identifying new types of antibiotics. Antimicrobial peptides constitute an interesting group of substances for this purpose, since they are believed to act mainly by disrupting the bacterial membrane, which...
