Figure 1: CD spectra of α-MSH and designed analogues.

From: Enhanced Cationic Charge is a Key Factor in Promoting Staphylocidal Activity of α-Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone via Selective Lipid Affinity

Figure 1

(a) α-MSH, (b) K-MSH, (c) KK-MSH, (d) KKA-MSH, (e) KKK-MSH and (f) Magainin II in the presence of buffer (blue), 50% TFE (v/v) (red) and DMPC:DMPG (7:3, w/w) SUVs (green). Peptide and lipid concentrations were 50 μM and 726 μM, respectively (L:P = 14.5:1). The mean residue ellipticity [θ] was plotted against wavelength. Each plot represents average of three scans.
