Figure 7

(A) Snapshots taken at different time-points (0 ns – left panel, 50 ns – middle panel and 100 ns – right panel) during MD simulation of a dimeric arrangement of 2B peptides in conjunction with POPC membrane. The N and C-termini of the peptides are oriented in the same (top row) or opposite (bottom row) directions with respect to each other. The peptides are numbered for clarity. (B) Surface representation of 2B peptides in two different dimer orientations (same or opposite direction) after 100 ns of simulation, showing the extent of membrane penetration by the peptides.
