In this review, we explore the occurrence and availability of antimicrobial proteins and peptides across various species, highlighting their natural abundance and evolutionary significance. The design of AMPs has been driven by the identification of key structural and functional features, which are essential for optimizing their antimicrobial activity and reducing toxicity to host cells. We discuss various approaches, including rational design, high-throughput screening, and computational modeling, that have been employed to develop novel AMPs with enhanced efficacy. A particular focus is given to the identification and characterization of peptide fragments derived from naturally occurring host defense proteins, which offer a promising avenue for the discovery of new AMPs. The incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools into AMP research has further accelerated the identification, optimization, and application of these peptides. This review also discusses the current status and therapeutic potential of AMPs, emphasizing their role in addressing the growing issue of antibiotic resistance. The conclusion highlights the importance of continued research and innovation in AMP development to fully harness their potential as next-generation antimicrobial agents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jfb15110320","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,29]],"date-time":"2024-10-29T04:51:33Z","timestamp":1730177493000},"page":"320","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Innovative Strategies and Methodologies in Antimicrobial Peptide Design"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Devesh Pratap","family":"Verma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur 208016, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3784-8799","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amit Kumar","family":"Tripathi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Immunology and Genetics, University of North Texas Health Science Center, Fort Worth, TX 76107, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ashwani Kumar","family":"Thakur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biological Sciences & Bioengineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur 208016, Uttar Pradesh, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"366","DOI":"10.11622\/smedj.2015105","article-title":"Alexander Fleming (1881\u20131955): Discoverer of penicillin","volume":"56","author":"Tan","year":"2015","journal-title":"Singap.
