Biomedical Applications of Antimicrobial Peptides: Multifunctional Mechanisms, Engineering Strategies, and Therapeutic Development.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, multifunctional molecules generated by the innate immune systems of various organisms. AMPs possess broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity and operate through mechanisms that target microbial membranes, cell walls, and intracellular processes. These peptides are viewed as promisi...
