by Phoenix, David [author.]; Dennison, Sarah R [author.]; Harris, Frederick (Research fellow) [author.].
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Weinheim, Germany : Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co KCaA, [2013]Description: 1 online resource (xv, 231 pages) : illustrations (some color).ISBN: 9783527652884; 3527652884; 9783527652860; 3527652868; 9783527652853; 352765285X; 9781299157309; 1299157300; 9783527652853; 9783527652877; 3527652876.Subject(s): Peptide antibiotics | Protein drugs | Peptides -- Therapeutic use | Microbial peptides | Anti-Infective Agents -- pharmacology | Antimicrobial Cationic Peptides -- pharmacology | Amino acids -- Analysis | Microbial pesticides | MEDICAL -- Drug Guides | MEDICAL -- Nursing -- Pharmacology | MEDICAL -- Pharmacology | MEDICAL -- Pharmacy | Microbial peptides | Peptide antibiotics | Peptides -- Therapeutic use | Protein drugs | Medicine--Basic Sciences | Pharmacy | Electronic books | Electronic books | Electronic booksOnline resources: Wiley Online Library
Contents:
Antimicrobial peptides: their history, evolution, and functional promiscuity -- Cationic antimicrobial peptides -- Anionic antimicrobial peptides -- Graphical techniques to visualize the amphiphilic structures of antimicrobial peptides -- Models for the membrane interactions of antimicrobial peptides -- Selectivity and toxicity of oncolytic antimicrobial peptides.
Summary: In this didactically-written text, the small team of expert authors presents the field in a comprehensive and accessible manner that is well suited for students and junior researchers. The result is a highly readable and systematically structured introduction to antimicrobial peptides, their structure, biological function and mode of action. The authors point the way towards a rational design of this potentially highly effective new class of clinical antibiotics on the brink of industrial application by discussing their design principles, target membranes and structure-activity relationship.
