A purpurin-peptide derivative for selective killing of Gram-positive bacteria via insertion into cell membrane

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic bacteria can cause significant morbidity and become a critical public healthcare problem. To date, effective identification and killing of bacteria remains a major challenge in bacterial infections. Although numerous materials have been designed for bacteria identification, few materials can discriminate different bacteria effectively. In this work, we designed a new polyarginine chlorophyll derivative...
