Introduction In the past decade, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), or a lack of response to traditional antibiotics, has been on the rise. In response, major health organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) have declared it one of the top ten threats to global health.1 At the same time, the drug delivery industry has been slow to deliver new antibiotics, especially ones with new mechanisms of action, or ones to which the build-up of AMR is expected to be comparatively slow.
Abstract Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of growing interest as potential candidates for antibiotics to which antimicrobial resistance increases slowly. In this article, we perform the first in silico study of the synthetic β sheet-forming AMP GL13K. Through atomistic simulations of single and multi-peptide systems under different charge conditions, we are able to shine a light on the short timescales of early aggregation.

Gnanakaran doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.09.03.458946 Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has triggered myriad efforts to dissect and understand the structure and dynamics of this complex pathogen. The Spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 has received special attention as it is the means by which the virus enters the human host cells.
