Role of helicity of α-helical antimicrobial peptides to improve specificity

A major barrier to the use of antimicrobial peptides as antibiotics is the toxicity or ability to lyse eukaryotic cells. In this study, a 26-residue amphipathic α-helical antimicrobial peptide A12L/A20L (Ac-KWKSFLKTFKSLKKTVLHTLLKAISS-amide) was used as the framework to design a series of D- and L-di...
