Plain-language verified summary

Question

Not reported in the reviewed source.

Methods

Much attention has been focused on the design and synthesis of potent, cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that possess both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.

Scale or participants

Some of our designed HDAMPs exhibited potent broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, with improved prokaryotic selectivity, and retained LPS neutralization activity in comparison to LL-37.

Key findings

In an attempt to overcome the issues described above, a set of ultra-short, His-derived antimicrobial peptides (HDAMPs) has been developed for the first time.

Limitations and uncertainty

Much attention has been focused on the design and synthesis of potent, cationic antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that possess both antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities.
