دانلود کتاب Antimicrobial Peptides

In this didactically-written text, the small team of expert authors presents the field in a comprehensive and accessible manner that is well suited for students and junior researchers. The result is a highly readable and systematically structured introduction to antimicrobial peptides, their structure, biological function and mode of action. The authors point the way towards a rational design of this potentially highly effective new class of clinical antibiotics on the brink of industrial application by discussing their design principles, target membranes and structure-activity relationships. The final part of the book describes recent successes in the application of peptides as anticancer agents.Content: Chapter 1 Antimicrobial Peptides: Their History, Evolution, and Functional Promiscuity (pages 1–37): Chapter 2 Cationic Antimicrobial Peptides (pages 39–81): Chapter 3 Anionic Antimicrobial Peptides (pages 83–113): Chapter 4 Graphical Techniques to Visualize the Amphiphilic Structures of Antimicrobial Peptides (pages 115–144): Chapter 5 Models for the Membrane Interactions of Antimicrobial Peptides (pages 145–180): Chapter 6 Selectivity and Toxicity of Oncolytic Antimicrobial Peptides (pages 181–221):
