Lipid-tail modification of the antimicrobial peptide P7 enhances membrane disruption and antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are short, host-defense peptides with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and a low propensity for inducing resistance, positioning them as promising alternatives to conventional antibiotics. The α-helical peptide P7 (KIAKRIWKILRR) previously demonstrated potent antibacterial activity ag...
