“…Thus, the mechanism of action and activity of AMPs is influenced by amino acids chain length, overall charge of the peptide, structural conformation, amino acid composition, hydrophobicity, and amphipathicity [139]. These mechanisms are studied using different biophysical techniques like circular dichroism, FTIR spectroscopy, NMR, and other techniques and by performing various biological assays like cellular leakage assay, cell dyes, time-course of killing assay, and other assays [4,15,140,141]. Lastly, the toxicity of the AMPs is determined to understand its safety for better treatments using different assays like the MTT assay, hemolytic assay, microscopic analysis, in vivo model study, serum stability, and other relevant toxicity assays [4,15,141,154].…”
