Abstract excerpt
Recently, we had reported a synthetic positively charged leucine-rich 14-residue-long antimicrobial peptide (AMP, LL-14: NH3+-LKWLKKLLKWLKKL-CONH2), which was highly active and cytotoxic relative to its valine analogue (VV-14). However, the thermodynamics underlying this differential toxicity and antimicrobial activity was unclear. Understanding the energetics of peptide binding to micelles (simplest membrane...
