Peptide-Membrane Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation of In Silico Detected Antimicrobial Peptides from Portulaca oleracea's Transcriptome.

Researchers identified potential antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) from Portulaca oleracea using computational methods. One candidate (PO2) showed promise in penetrating E. coli and S. aureus membranes, suggesting it could be a valuable tool against multidrug-resistant infections.
