From: Tuneable poration: host defense peptides as sequence probes for antimicrobial mechanisms
Membrane disruption mechanisms in DLPC/DLPG (3:1, molar ratio) supported lipid bilayers. (a) Schematic representations of relative orientations of cecropin peptides in lipid bilayers: (from top down) CecB, CecM, Choc and ChoM. Designations are as in Fig. 1. (b) Topography of SLBs treated with cecropin peptides (left) and cross-sections along the highlighted lines (right). The images were taken at 90 min (CecB), 15 min (CecM), 10 min (ChoC) and 6 min (ChoM) of incubation. Color scale is 6 nm.
