## Abstract Novel cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs) designed in our lab—typified by sequences such as KKKKKKAAX‐AAXAAXAA‐NH~2~, where X = Phe/Trp—display high antibacterial activity but exhibit little or no hemolytic activity towards human red blood cells even at high doses. To clarify the mec
To investigate properties of hydrophilic bundled peptides and their interactions with phospholipid membranes, bundled peptides named [Trp 2 ]-and [Trp 12 ]-4h-4 6 S9, which are composed of four fragments of amphiphilic 24-mer peptide, were designed and synthesized. Tryptophan (Trp) was introduced at
