Abstract
This project proposes the investigation of the mechanism of action of the synthetic antimicrobial peptide E-MP1 on bacterial and cancer cell membrane models, using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations at equilibrium and constant pH. E-MP1 is a synthetic analogue of the Polybia-MP1 (MP1) peptide, obtained from the immune system of the wasp Polybia paulista, with potential antibiotic and ant…
