Compendium of antimicrobial peptide databases
https://omictools.com/antimicrobial-peptide-data-category
This Omic tool listing contains an annotated set of antimicrobial databases. Antimicrobial peptides are increasingly deemed to be important in biotechnology for their animal and human therapeutic potential.
The anti‐microbial peptide database
http://aps.unmc.edu/AP/structure.php
This site contains a database of peptides, prediction tools and classification schema. Overall, it is a comprehensive resource on the topic.
Collection of anti‐microbial peptides
http://www.camp.bicnirrh.res.in
This collection focuses on sequence patterns and HMMs for antimicrobial peptides and provides links to major databases such as UniProt and PubMed.
Peptaibol database
http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/peptaibol
This site focuses on a specific class of antimicrobial peptides known as peptaibols. These peptides are typically derived from fungi.
Database AMP
http://csb.cse.yzu.edu.tw/dbAMP/
This database is particularly useful for identifying antimicrobial peptides using transcriptomic and proteomic data.
Database of antimicrobial activity
This database specializes in modeling structures of antimicrobial peptides to help predict therapeutic potential for these compounds.
Tachystatin A structure
http://www.rcsb.org/structure/1CIX
This record in the Protein DataBank has information and structural coordinates for techystatin A, an antimicrobial peptide from horseshoe crab.
Four structural classes of antimicrobial peptides
This page from the Research Gate site posts information on a specific collection of antimicrobial peptides from animal origin.
Structure of anoplin in micelles
https://www.rcsb.org/structure/2MJQ
This record in the Protein DataBank has information and structural coordinates for antimicrobial peptide anoplin that is embedded in diphosphatidylcholine micelles. Anoplin is an antimicrobial peptide from a species of wasp.
Antimicrobial peptides review
https://www.mdpi.com/2218-273X/8/1/4/htm
This review article explores antimicrobial peptides, especially from the standpoint of providing a replacement of some antibiotic therapies where resistance is rising.
Antimicrobial peptides for wounds
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphar.2018.00281/full
This article discusses the use of antimicrobial peptides for surface injuries such as skin wounds.
General Probiotics
General Protobiotics is a biotechnology company exploring commercial use of antimicrobial peptides in the poultry industry, as a replacement for antibiotics. The use of antibiotics in animal agriculture is increasingly being constrained.
Selling antimicrobial peptides: Hycult Biotech

Antimicrobial peptides: Gordon Research Conference
https://www.grc.org/antimicrobial-peptides-conference/2019/
This Gordon Research Conference is designed to host high‐level discussion of antimicrobial peptides, with a particular focus on their potential efficacy in human and veterinary medicine.
Designing antibacterial peptides
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5829097/
An important area of antimicrobial peptide research is understanding structure/function correlations. This is discussed here in the context of designing more effective, faster‐acting peptides.
Molecular simulations of antimicrobial peptides
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989729/
Antimicrobial peptides largely exert their effects in membranes. This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to better understand the interactions between the peptides and specific membrane components.
Antimicrobial peptides: Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_peptides
This Wikipedia entry provides a particularly good tutorial on many aspects of antimicrobial peptides.
Structure/function of antimicrobial peptides
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876162318300282
This review focuses on biophysical and computational methods for studying antimicrobial peptides.
