Physicochemical Features and Peculiarities of Interaction of AMP with the Membrane

Malak Pirtskhalava et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have the potential to be novel biotherapeutics with interactions on the cell envelope, requiring comprehensive understanding for rational design. In-depth studies on the physicochemical, aggregative, and structural features of AMPs are essential for accurate classification and effective prediction methods. The knowledge of AMPs' physicochemical properties is crucial for the development of peptide-based antibiotics design tools.

Key Physicochemical Determinants in the Antimicrobial Peptide RiLK1 Promote Amphipathic Structures

Lucia Falcigno et al.

Summary: AMPs are a class of new antibiotics with broad-spectrum activity, rapid killing, and low bacterial resistance. Efforts have been made to discover AMPs with improved performance, considering physicochemical features like hydrophobicity, net positive charge, amphipathic conformation, and self-assembling properties. The design of a new peptide RiLK1, based on dodecapeptide 1018-K6, shows improved bactericidal, antifungal, and anti-biofilm activities compared to 1018-K6, with structural reasons identified through spectroscopic and microscopic analyses.

A Study on the Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Peptide 1018-K6 as Potential Alternative to Antibiotics against Food-Pathogen Salmonella enterica

Rossella Festa et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial peptide 1018-K6 showed broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against Salmonella enterica at relatively low concentrations, with most strains having minimum inhibitory concentrations between 16 and 32 µg/mL. Additionally, sub-inhibitory concentrations of 1018-K6 significantly reduced biofilm formation in several Salmonella enterica strains, demonstrating great potential for applications in active packaging and water disinfectants.
