Dose-Dependent Softening of Bacterial Model Membranes by Structurally Distinct Antimicrobial Peptides: A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study

This paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to show how different antimicrobial peptides alter membrane mechanical properties in a dose-dependent manner, with structured peptides causing greater softening than disordered ones.

The Role of Negatively Charged Groups in Antimicrobial Cationic Peptide Mimics: Insights into Membrane Interactions

This study investigates cationic amphiphilic copolymers with positive and negative charges, showing they interact preferentially with deep bacterial membrane defects and offer improved antimicrobial properties.
