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 To develop novel Pro‐rich 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 XXPXXPWXPXX‐NH~2~ (X indicates Leu or Lys) with different ratios of Lys a

## Abstract __De novo__ design of amphipathic model peptides has been successful for generating many antimicrobial peptides with various lengths and amino acid compositions. Here, we suggest a very simple strategy to design antimicrobial peptides with a short length and a simple amino acid composit
