AMPs shared the abillity to attach membranes. Amino acids composition as well as the structure allow each of them to attach the microorganism's membrane. | AMPs shared the abillity to attach membranes.

AMPs are rich with hydrophibic (Ala, Val, Ile, Leu, Met, Phe, Tyr, Trp) and Possitively charged (Lys, Arg) Amino Acids, which seems to allow them to bind into membranes. <scene name='67/676980/1pg1_arginine/1'>Protegrin 1</scene>, is a peptide from porcine leukocytes and it's sequence is rich with <scene name='67/676980/1pg1_hydrophobic_residues/1'> hydrophobic residues</scene> and <scene name='67/676980/1pg1_cationic_residues/1'>cationic residues</scene>. | AMPs are rich with hydrophibic (Ala, Val, Ile, Leu, Met, Phe, Tyr, Trp) and Possitively charged (Lys, Arg) Amino Acids, which seems to allow them to bind into membranes. <scene name='67/676980/1pg1_arginine/1'>Protegrin 1</scene>, is a peptide from porcine leukocytes and it's sequence is rich with <scene name='67/676980/1pg1_hydrophobic_residues/1'> hydrophobic residues</scene> and <scene name='67/676980/1pg1_cationic_residues/1'>cationic residues</scene>. | ||
