Written by a pioneer in the field of antimicrobial peptides, who has been involved in discovery, drug development, and the study of the role played by AMPs in human health and disease, Antimicrobial Peptides is the first comprehensive overview of the field of innate immunity. Exploring this "hard wired" system of host defense that has emerged over the past decade as an important system in health and disease, author Michael Zasloff explains why AMPs are of such interest, what has been accomplished commercially to date, the problems, potential solutions, and what the future holds.
