A novel function of short cationic peptide FP-CATH9 without antimicrobial activity reverses resistance to minocycline in common multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria by Yingqi Tang, Jiye Liu, Jiani Yan, Zhixiong Xie, Lipeng Zhong

“…While antimicrobial peptides generally exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and good biocompatibility, naturally truncated portions of antimicrobial peptides (such as snake cathelicidin) often do not exhibit antimicrobial activity, and their function remains unknown. FP-CATH9 is a short cationic peptide derived from FP-CATH (snake cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide) with an amphiphilic α-helical structure and no discernible antibacterial activity. …”

Methods for assessing the connectivity of an undirected bipolar labeled graph taking into account the destructive impact of external threats on its vertices by V. A. Voevodin, N. A. Krahotin

“…The initial conditions are accepted: the stability of the information system as a whole depends deterministically on the stability of its structural elements and the network structure itself; the problem of assessing the connectivity of a two-pole structure is basic for assessing the connectivity of the corresponding multi-pole structures; the stability analysis of the impacted object is carried out using minimax criteria, and the result is presented in the form of the minimum value of the stability function and the moment in time of the occurrence of this event.Result. …”
