Beyond Membrane Disruption: AMPs That Hit Inside
Some antimicrobial peptides kill bacteria by targeting DNA, ribosomes, and protein folding inside the cell, not just by punching holes in membranes.
AMP MechanismsHow Antimicrobial Peptides Kill Bacteria
AMPs kill bacteria through pore formation, membrane disruption, and intracellular targeting. The barrel-stave, toroidal, and carpet models explained.
AMP MechanismsBarrel-Stave, Toroidal, and Carpet Models of AMP Action
How antimicrobial peptides destroy bacterial membranes through three distinct mechanisms: barrel-stave pores, toroidal pores, and carpet-model disruption.
