Research Advances in Molecular Modeling in Cyclodextrins.

abstract：:In this review, the antimicrobial properties of a number of peptides are described. We first deal with helical linear peptides such as the well-known gramicidin, magainins, melittin, and other less well-known or more recently discovered peptides. Then, beta-sheet peptides (defensins isolated from insects and also from...
