Molecular mechanism of action of tyrocidine antimicrobial peptides using NMR spectroscopy and computational techniques

Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === The need to come up with new and novel antibiotics that utilize unique mechanisms, to which bacteria cannot generate resistance, was the main motivation of this study. Tyrocidine peptides are non-selective antibiotics that have such pro...
