Rational Engineering of a Brevinin-2 Peptide: Decoupling Potency from Toxicity Through C-Terminal Truncation and N-Terminal Chiral Substitution

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: The clinical potential of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) against dual threats like antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and cancer is often limited by their high host cell toxicity. Here, we focused on brevinin-2OS (B2OS), a novel peptide from the skin of <i>Odorrana schmacker...
