Fig. 4

Pore formation of MelP5 in the presence of CHOL at 333 K. The pore forming process is illustrated for a model membrane of POPC with 25% CHOL. (a) Snapshots in both side and top view. (b) Center of mass of the peptides along the membrane normal. The hydrophobic core of the membrane is shaded in grey. (c) Tilt angle of the peptides. The tilt angle is defined as the angle between peptide helix axis and the membrane normal.
