Effects of Rationally Designed Physico-Chemical Variants of the Peptide PuroA on Biocidal Activity towards Bacterial and Mammalian Cells

Effects of Rationally Designed Physico-Chemical Variants of the Peptide PuroA on Biocidal Activity towards Bacterial and Mammalian Cells

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) often exhibit wide-spectrum activities and are considered ideal candidates for effectively controlling persistent and multidrug-resistant wound infections. PuroA, a synthetic peptide based on the tryptophan (Trp)-rich domain of the wheat protein puroindoline A, displays...
