Abstract
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are small, sequenced
peptides that are abundant in nature and, act as an inhibitor
against bacteria. Recently AMPs have been employed
as cancer therapeutic agents and are called anticancer
peptides (ACP), due to the biocompatibility and high
specificity and selectivity between cancerous and noncancerous cells.
