Molecular dynamics simulations of human α-defensin 5 (HD5) crossing gram-negative bacterial membrane
Human α-defensin 5 (HD5) is a cationic antimicrobial peptide exhibiting a wide range of antimicrobial activities. It plays an important role in mucosal immunity of the small intestine. HD5 exerts its bactericidal activities through multiple mechanisms, one of which involves HD5 inducing the formatio...
