Disrupting SARS-CoV-2: molecular dynamics insights into the role of human β-defensin 2 and α-defensin 5 peptides in membrane structure alteration

As a part of the host-defense system of many organisms, defensins are considered a suitable option for treating infection agents. Using the molecular dynamics simulation, this work studied the effects of two important human antimicrobial peptides, human β-defensin 2 and human α-defensin 5 on the SAR...
