Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small-sized peptides of fewer than 50 amino acids and are mostly cationic in nature owing to the presence of a large number of lysine or arginine residues in the amino acid primary backbone. From: Liposomal Encapsulation in Food Science and Technology, 2023 ...
Peptides extracted from marine sources have different functions and structures, as compared to peptides isolated from terrestrial sources, considering the different adaptive pressure on the organisms through the evolutionary process.Citation37 The Cancrin AMP is the first AMP isolated from the sea amphib...
Today, antibiotic resistance is a growingproblem, and the need for discovery ofnovel antimicrobial components is great-er than ever before. Antimicrobial peptides (AMP) are considered an interesting alter-native in the search of novel antimicrobialcomponents, as they are important compo- nents in ...
Marine organisms, as a rich recourse of numerous bioactive compounds, have been reported to produce antimicrobial peptides (AMP). Antimicrobial peptides are small molecular weight peptides which protect the host organisms against multiple microbes. Due to the non-toxicity, broad-spectrum antimicrobial ...

This study was focused on the application of actinomycin X2 (Ac.X2), a peptide pigment cultured from marine-derived Streptomyces cyaneofuscatus, in the dyeing and finishing of silk fabric. The dyeing potential of Ac.X2 with silk vs. cotton fabrics was assessed. As a result, the silk ...
As the United Nations convenes its second High-Level Meeting on antimicrobial resistance, urgent global action is needed. This Focus issue draws attention to pressing challenges of bacterial antimicrobial resistance and underscores the need for fast and coordinated international efforts. ...

This review details current information concerning protein hydrolysates produced by enzymatic hydrolysis and/or microbial fermentation methods that contain antioxidant and antimicrobial peptides isolated from muscle protein sources and by-products from vertebrate and invertebrate muscle proteins. In this review ...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are promising antimicrobials, however, the potential of bacterial resistance is a major concern. Here we systematically study the evolution of resistance to 14 chemically diverse AMPs and 12 antibiotics in Escherichia coli.
