Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have emerged as promising candidates in combating antimicrobial resistance – a growing issue healthcare. However, to develop AMPs into effective therapeutics, thorough analysis and extensive investigations are essential. In this study, we employed an silico approach design cationic de novo, followed by their experimental testing. The antibacterial potential of novo designed AMPs, along with synergistic properties combination conventional antibiotics was...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been identified as a potentially new class of antibiotics. There is lot computational methods AMP prediction. Although most them can predict antimicrobial potency against any microbe (microbe not identified) with rather high accuracy, prediction quality these tools particular bacterial strains low (Bioinformatics, 2018, in press; Journal Chemical Information and Modeling 58, 1141-1151). Special tool for the target species accuracy. This included into...
Emerging bacterial resistance to the existing antibiotics makes development of new types an increasingly important challenge. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) can be considered as novel and efficient type that are hard acquire against. We have developed algorithm design active against certain species. The prediction is based on clusterization with known biological activities by physicochemical properties. Database Activity Structure Peptides (DBAASP, https://dbaasp.org) now includes Special...
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are anti-infective agents that may represent a novel and untapped class of biotherapeutics. In the lab bioinformatics IBCEB, Database Activity Structure Peptides (DBAASPv.2 - accessible at http://dbaasp.org) has been developed. DBAASP provides information analytical resources to scientific community in order develop antimicrobial compounds with high therapeutic index. Quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies for development predictive model...
