X Abstract

Abstract: Membrane pores that are induced in oriented membranes by an antimicrobial peptide (AMP), protegrin-1 (PG-1), are investigated by 31P and 2H solid state NMR spectroscopy. We incorporated a well-studied peptide, protegrin-1 (PG-1), a ²-sheet AMP, to investigate AMP-induced dynamic supramolecular lipid assemblies at different peptide concentrations and membrane compositions. Anisotropic NMR line shapes specifying toroidal pores and thinned membranes, which are formed in membrane bilayers by the binding of AMPs, have been analyzed for the first time. Theoretical NMR line shapes of lipids distributed on the surface of toroidal pores and thinned membranes reproduce reasonably well the line shape characteristics of our experimentally measured 31P and 2H solid-state NMR spectra of oriented lipids binding with PG-1. The lateral diffusions of lipids are also analyzed from the motionally averaged one- and two-dimensional 31P and 2H solid-state NMR spectra of oriented lipids that are binding with AMPs.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
