Physical Model for Cell Selectivity of Antimicrobial Peptides
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are relatively-short chain molecules that living organisms use to defend themselves against a wide range of invading microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. They selectively bind to and kill microbes over host cells by permeabilizing cell membranes or by inhibiting...
