520 ▼a Antibiotic resistance is a global problem and poses an alarming threat to public health. Microorganisms resistant to all commercially available antibiotics have emerged, undermining the ability to fight infectious diseases. The antibiotic resist
520 ▼a Bacteriocins are bacteria-produced, antimicrobial peptides that are potentially powerful antibiotic drug candidates. Despite considerable scientific interest around bacteriocins, and despite their promise as potent, latent antibiotics, their eve
520 ▼a First, we studied Plantaricin EF, a two-peptide class IIb bacteriocin. This bacteriocin was simulated in different environments including water, micelles, and lipid bilayers. The interaction between the two peptides that promotes dimerization, a
520 ▼a It is not unlikely that the mechanism of action of bacteriocins can involve poration of the membrane as well as receptor-mediation. Therefore, the interaction of a bacteriocin with its putative receptor was also examined. Lacking the structure o
520 ▼a We believe that our findings could be of importance to the designing of new antibiotic agents, as it would guide the search for better bacteriocins toward peptides with improved activity and specificity, that form stable pores, increase water or
