Recent Applications of Aggregation Induced Emission Probes for Antimicrobial Peptide Studies

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are being intensively investigated as they considered promising alternatives to antibiotics where their clinical efficacy is dwindling due the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Accompanying with development AMPs, a number fluorescent probes have been developed facilitate understanding modes action AMPs. These used monitor binding process, determine working mechanism and evaluate properties In particular, recent advance aggregation-induced emission (AIE) fluorophores, that show many advantageous over traditional probes, there an increasing research interest in using AIE for AMP studies. this review, we give overview development, highlight progress fluorescence particularly field propose future perspective developing potent agents combat AMR.
