Mainly focused on the antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) – short amphipathic charged membrane proteins isolated from various lower organisms; the book summarizes up-to-date collections of current research and experimental methods for the isolation, characterization and production of AMPs with a wide spectrum of targets involving viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. It discusses the correlations between activity and typical features of AMPs which will allow the design of new artificial AMPs with augmented activity.
