    Glossary Antimicrobial Peptides

    small proteins that kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi

    Antimicrobial Peptides (AMPs) are small proteins that play a crucial role in the immune system by directly killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are part of the body's first line of defense and work by disrupting the membranes of these pathogens, making them an essential component in preventing infections.
