(a) Time-dependent cytoplasmic membrane depolarization of Staphylococcus aureus (KCTC 1621) treated with the peptides (2 × MIC) assessed by the release of the membrane potential‐sensitive dye, DiSC3-5. (b) Membrane permeabilization caused by the peptides. Dose-dependent calcein release from EYPE/EYPG (7:3) LUVs induced by LfcinB6, KR-12-a5, and Lf-KR. The fluorescence intensity was measured using an excitation wavelength of 490 nm and an emission wavelength of 520 nm.
