Antimicrobial peptide class that forms discrete β-barrel stable pores anchored by transmembrane helices

Abstract Bacteriocin peptides are weapons of inter-bacterial warfare and belong to the larger group of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), which are frequently proposed as alternatives to antibiotics. Many AMPs kill by destroying the target’s cytoplasmic membrane using short-lived membrane perturbations....
