From: Temporin L and aurein 2.5 have identical conformations but subtly distinct membrane and antibacterial activities

Figure 3

Average aurein 2.5 and temporin L peptide topology during 100 ns MD simulation. The depth of aurein 2.5 (A,B) and temporin L (C,D) insertion into each membrane is shown as the Z-position for each residue, averaged over all eight peptides in each simulation, relative to the phosphate group plane in the upper bilayer leaflet. Positive or negative values indicate the peptides are below or above the phosphate group, respectively for peptides in POPE/POPG (A,C) or POPG (B,D).
