Conformational study of the protegrin-1 (PG-1) dimer interaction with lipid bilayers and its effect
BACKGROUND: Protegrin-1 (PG-1) is known as a potent antibiotic peptide; it prevents infection via an attack on the membrane surface of invading microorganisms. In the membrane, the peptide forms a pore/channel through oligomerization of multiple subunits. Recent experimental and computational studie...
