Antimicrobial peptides /
Antimicrobial Peptides Chairman: Hans G. Boman 1994 Antimicrobial peptides are small peptides directly encoded by genes (in contrast to the better known antibiotics) which show a broad range of activity against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, fungi, mycobacteria and some enveloped viruses....
