Membrane Thinning and Thickening Induced by Membrane-Active Amphipathic Peptides

Membrane thinning has been discussed as a fundamental mechanism by which antimicrobial peptides can perturb cellular membranes. To understand which factors play a role in this process, we compared several amphipathic peptides with different structures, sizes and functions in their influence on the l...
