The Cellular Target of Histatin 5 on Candida albicans Is the Energized Mitochondrion
Eva J. Helmerhorst,Pieter Breeuwer,Wim van 't Hof,E. Walgreen-Weterings,L. C. J. M. Oomen,Enno C. I. Veerman,Arie V. Nieuw Amerongen,Tjakko Abee +7 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that histatin 5 is internalized, and targets to the energized mitochondrion, like the biological effects, which was inhibited by mitochondrial inhibitors and high salt conditions.

Effects of histatin 5 and derived peptides on Candida albicans.
A.L.A Ruissen,J. Groenink,Eva J. Helmerhorst,E. Walgreen-Weterings,W. van't Hof,E.C.I. Veerman,A.V. Nieuw Amerongen +6 more
TL;DR: Three anti-microbial peptides were compared with respect to their killing activity against Candida albicans and their ability to disturb its cellular and internal membranes and the variant peptides showed a more destructive effect on mitochondria.
Cationic amphipathic peptides, derived from bovine and human lactoferrins, with antimicrobial activity against oral pathogens
TL;DR: Peptides derived from the N-terminal domain that comprises an amphipathic alpha-helix in human lactoferrin and bovine lact oferrin had more potent antimicrobial activities than the human equivalents.

Energy Depletion Protects Candida albicans against Antimicrobial Peptides by Rigidifying Its Cell Membrane
Enno C. I. Veerman,M. Valentijn-Benz,Kamran Nazmi,A.L.A Ruissen,E. Walgreen-Weterings,Jan van Marle,Alexander B. Doust,Wim van 't Hof,Jan G. M. Bolscher,Arie V. Nieuw Amerongen +9 more
TL;DR: Data demonstrate that changes in the physical state of the membrane underlie the increased resistance to antimicrobial peptides.

Binding of Human High-molecular-weight Salivary Mucins (MG1) to Hemophilus parainfluenzae
E.C.I. Veerman,Antoon J. M. Ligtenberg,L. C. P. M. Schenkels,E. Walgreen-Weterings,A.V. Nieuw Amerongen +4 more
TL;DR: Data indicate that MG1 can be bound in a selective manner by Hemophilus spp.
