Ultrashort Cationic Lipopeptides–Effect of <i>N</i>-Terminal Amino Acid and Fatty Acid Type on Antimicrobial Activity and Hemolysis
Ultrashort cationic lipopeptides (USCLs) are promising antimicrobial agents that hypothetically may be alternatively used to combat pathogens such as bacteria and fungi. In general, USCLs consist of fatty acid chains and a few basic amino acid residues. The main shortcoming of USCLs is their relativ...
