Defect formation of lytic peptides in lipid membranes and their influence on the thermodynamic properties of the pore environment
Vitaliy Oliynyk, Udo Kaatze, Thomas Heimburg
We present an experimental study of the pore formation processes of small amphipathic peptides in model phosphocholine lipid membranes. We used atomic force microscopy to character…
