Computer-aided Discovery of Peptides that Specifically Attack Bacterial Biofilms

Biofilms represent a multicellular growth state of bacteria that are intrinsically resistant to conventional antibiotics. It was recently shown that a synthetic immunomodulatory cationic peptide, 1018 (VRLIVAVRIWRR-NH(2)), exhibits broad-spectrum antibiofilm activity but the sequence determinants of...
