Antimicrobial peptides in anti-infective and immunomodulatory applications: Mechanisms, challenges, and emerging computational design.
This review examines how the diverse molecular mechanisms through which AMPs exert antimicrobial effects-including membrane disruption, intracellular targeting, and immunomodulation-are intrinsically linked to their structural diversity and ecological breadth and critically evaluates engineering strategies that improve developability.
