The Activity of Polyhomoarginine against <i>Acanthamoeba castellanii</i>

Arginine-rich peptides can have broad-spectrum anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activities. Polyhomoarginine consists of highly cationic residues which can act on the negatively charged microbial cell membranes. <i>Acanthamoeba</i> is a free-living protozoan known to cause a rare corneal i...
