Atherosclerosis (also known as arteriosclerotic vascular disease or ASVD) is a specific form of arteriosclerosis in which an artery-wall thickens as a result of invasion and accumulation of white blood cells (WBCs) (foam cell) and proliferation of intimal-smooth-muscle cell creating a fibrofatty plaque.
3D Structure of Antimicrobial Peptides 1. Structure annotation The information on the three-dimensional (3D) structure of antimicrobial peptides is annotated in this database from the first version of the APD (Wang & Wang, 2004).It includes methods for structural determination, structural class, structural regions, critical residues, and the type of membrane-mimetic environments.. Structural statistics of antimicrobial peptides A list of antimicrobial peptdes with a defined 3D structure can be obtained by searching the APD database. The statistics of a variety of structures is also provided in this database. Go to the Statistic Interface.
A wide range of antibacterial action is provided by the overlapping spectra of bacitracin, polymyxin B sulfate, and neomycin. Bacitracin is bactericidal for a variety of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms.
