Many antibiotics stop bacterial growth by inhibiting different steps of protein synthesis. However, no specific inhibitors of translation termination are known. Proline-rich antimicrobial peptides, a ...
Antimicrobial resistance is a major public health issue that contributes to the emergence of drug-resistant microorganisms, thereby increasing the risk of nosocomial infections. Short peptide ...
Antibiotics are widely used in clinical treatment and animal production as an effective means to combat microbial infections. Antimicrobial peptides, as potential alternatives to antibiotics, have ...
A common infection-causing bacteria was much less likely to evolve antibiotic resistance when treated with a mixture of antimicrobial peptides rather than a single peptide, making these mixtures a ...
New research into antimicrobial peptides, small chains of amino acids able to damage bacterial cells, shows why some peptides are more effective at doing that and also why some cells are more ...
The World Health Organization estimates that 1.27 million people died directly from drug-resistant bacterial strains in 2019 and these strains contributed to 4.95 million deaths. While bacteria ...
The story of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), particularly in tackling antibiotic resistance, has been one of false dawns and unfulfilled promises. But perhaps a new generation of “smarter” compounds ...
The VDR is a member of the steroid/hormone nuclear receptor superfamily that includes 48 ligand-activated transcription factors. [3] These factors bind to conserved elements in the promoters of genes ...
