Abstract excerpt
Proline-rich antimicrobial peptides (PrAMPs) are attractive antibiotic candidates that target gram-negative bacteria ribosomes. We elucidated the sequence-function landscape of 43 000 variants of a recently discovered family member, Tur1a, using the validated SAMP-Dep platform that measures intracellular AMP potency in a high-throughput manner via self-depletion of the cellular host. The platform exhibited high...
