Spectroscopic and Computational Study of Melittin, Cecropin A, and the Hybrid Peptide CM15

[Image: see text] Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), such as cecropin A from silk moth, are key components of the innate immune system. They are effective defensive weapons against invading pathogens, yet they do not target host eukaryotic cells. In contrast, peptide toxins, such as honeybee melittin, a...
