Design and characterization of chionodracine-derived antimicrobial peptides with enhanced activity against drug-resistant human pathogens

Starting from the sequence of the amphipathic α-helix of chionodracine (Cnd, 22 amino acids), we designed a series of mutants to increase Cnd's antimicrobial activity and selectivity toward prokaryotic cells and drug-resistant bacterial pathogens. We characterized these new Cnd-derived peptides...
