## Abstract New antimicrobial compounds are of major importance because of the growing problem of bacterial resistance. In this context, antimicrobial peptides have received a lot of attention. Their mechanism of action, however, is often obscure. Here, the structures of two cyclic, antimicrobial p
## Abstract A class of cationic antimicrobial peptides involved in host defense consists of sequences rich in Lys and Trp. Small peptides, (WK)~3~ and (KW)~3~, were designed by the combination of alternating Lys (K) and Trp (W) amino acids, and then their antimicrobial and hemolytic activities were
