Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of growing interest as potential candidates that may offer more resilience against antimicrobial resistance than traditional antibiotic agents. In this article, we perform the first in silico study of the synthetic ß sheet-forming AMP GL13K. Through atomistic simulations of single and multi-peptide systems under different ...

We asked what peptide features govern targeting to the mitochondria versus the chloroplast using antimicrobial peptides as a starting point. This approach was inspired by the endosymbiotic hypothesis that organelle-targeting peptides derive from antimicrobial amphipathic peptides delivered by the host cell, to which organelle progenitors became resistant. ...
