Abstract
Synthetic peptidomimetics of antimicrobial peptides are promising as antimicrobial drug candidates because they promote membrane disruption and exhibit greater structural and proteolytic stability. We previously reported selective antifungal 14-helical beta-peptides, but the mechanism of antifungal toxicity of beta-peptides remains unknown. To provide insight into the mechanism, we studied antifungal beta-peptide binding to artificial membranes...
