N-acylated Peptides Derived from Human Lactoferricin Perturb Organization of Cardiolipin and Phosphatidylethanolamine in Cell Membranes and Induce Defects in Escherichia coli Cell Division

Two types of recently described antibacterial peptides derived from human lactoferricin, either nonacylated or N-acylated, were studied for their different interaction with membranes of Escherichia coli in vivo and in model systems. Electron microscopy revealed striking effects on the bacterial memb...
