Peptides with the Same Composition, Hydrophobicity, and Hydrophobic Moment Bind to Phospholipid Bilayers with Different Affinities

[Image: see text] We investigated the dependence of membrane binding on amino acid sequence for a series of amphipathic peptides derived from δ-lysin. δ-Lysin is a 26 amino acid, N-terminally formylated, hemolytic peptide that forms an amphipathic α-helix bound at membrane–water interfaces. A shorte...
