Presenting Antimicrobial Peptides on Poly(ethylene glycol): Star-Shaped vs Comb-Like Architectures.

Conjugating antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) to nonlinear polymers is a promising strategy to overcome the translational challenges of AMPs toward treating infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Nonlinear polymers, and therefore conjugates, can be prepared with various architectures (e.g.
