Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are produced by a variety of organisms and their cells. As a component of innate immunity, AMP is responsible for protecting the host against the pathogens. AMPs are generally consist of 12 and 50 amino acids with a broad spectrum of antibiotic activities against bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and viruses and cytotoxic activity on cancer cells, in addition to anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. For now, they are proved to exist in various organisms (bacteria, fungi, animals and plants) and thousands types of AMPs have been discovered and demonstrated. Of them, most are cationic AMPs, which play the key antimicrobial roles.
