Improved smallest peptides based on positive charge increase of the γ-core motif from PνD(1) and their mechanism of action against Candida species

BACKGROUND: Plant defensins have a hallmark γ-core motif (GXCX(3-9)C) that is related to their antimicrobial properties. The aim of this work was to design synthetic peptides based on the region corresponding to the PvD(1) defensin γ-core that are the smallest amino acid sequences that bear the stro...
