Control of cell selectivity of antimicrobial peptides

Open access

Abstract

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising novel antibiotics, because they exhibit broad antimicrobial spectra and do not easily induce resistance. For clinical applications, it is important to develop potent AMPs with less toxicity against host cells. This review article summarizes the molecular basis for the cell selectivity (bacteria versus host cells) of AMPs and various attempts to control it, including the optimization of physicochemical parameters of peptides, the introduction of D-, fluorinated, and unusual amino acids into peptides, the constraining of peptide conformations, and the modification of peptides by polymers. Pros and cons of these approaches are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
