Highly antimicrobial active arginine- and tryptophan-rich peptides were synthesized ranging in size from 11 to five amino acid residues in order to elucidate the main structural requirement for such short antimicrobial peptides. The amino acid sequences of the peptides were based on previous studies

## Abstract A series of Trp and Arg analogs of antibacterial indolicidin (Ind) was synthesized and the antimicrobial and hemolytic activities were investigated. [L^9^]Ind, [L^11^]Ind, [K^8^,L^9^]Ind and [K^6, 8^,L^9^]Ind showed desirable characteristics, exhibiting negligible hemolytic activity whi
## Abstract To develop novel Proβrich model AMPs with shorter length and higher bacterial selectivity/therapeutic index (TI) than natural AMP, indolicidin, we synthesized a series of undodecapeptides derived from the sequence XXPXXPWXPXXβNH~2~ (X indicates Leu or Lys) with different ratios of Lys a
