Therapeutic Potentials of Antimicrobial Peptides
Volume 5 • Issue 3 • 2013 Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small proteins (<100 amino acids) which include alpha-defensins, beta-defensins and the cathelicidin LL-37 in humans [1]. Alpha-defensins are expressed in neutrophils as part of their non-oxidative antimicrobial mechanismsand are also found in Paneth cells in the intestine [2,3]. They are synthesized as precursors that are proteolytica...

متن کاملRevolutionary Science
On rare occasions in the history of science, remarkable discoveries transform human society and forever alter mankind's view of the world. Examples of such discoveries include the heliocentric theory, Newtonian physics, the germ theory of disease, quantum theory, plate tectonics and the discovery that DNA carries genetic information. The science philosopher Thomas Kuhn famously described scienc...
متن کاملRevolutionary Algorithms
The optimization of dynamic problems is both widespread and difficult. When conducting dynamic optimization, a balance between reinitialization and computational expense has to be found. There are multiple approaches to this. In parallel genetic algorithms, multiple sub-populations concurrently try to optimize a potentially dynamic problem. But as the number of sub-population increases, their e...
متن کاملTherapeutic antimicrobial peptides may compromise natural immunity.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been proposed as a promising new class of antimicrobials despite warnings that therapeutic use could drive the evolution of pathogens resistant to our own immunity peptides. Using experimental evolution, we demonstrate that Staphylococcus aureus rapidly evolved resistance to pexiganan, a drug-candidate for diabetic leg ulcer infections. Evolved resistance was ...
