Antimicrobial Peptides - (Developments in Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology) (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Antimicrobial Peptides: From Science to Applications provides comprehensive coverage on the biology, diversity, and mechanisms of action associated with antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The book aims to equip readers with the knowledge required to understand, harness, and optimize these molecules for development and application across various sectors. The book starts off with an introductory overview of the biology and diversity of antimicrobial peptides, their molecular structure and function, and their unique mechanisms of action and evolutionary significance in nature. Subsequent chapters go on to explore the utilization of AMPs in medicine, agriculture, the environment, and biotechnology. Culminating in discussions on future trends, regulatory considerations, and strategies to overcome challenges, Antimicrobial Peptides: From Science to Applications is an informative reference for researchers, scientists, graduate students, and industry professionals engaged in the study and development of antimicrobial peptides as a potential solution to address pressing challenges such as antibiotic resistance, food security, and environmental sustainability.
