Hydrophobic mismatch demonstrated for membranolytic peptides, and their use as molecular rulers to measure bilayer thickness in native cells

Hydrophobic mismatch is a well-recognized principle in the interaction of transmembrane proteins with lipid bilayers. This concept was extended here to amphipathic membranolytic α-helices. Nine peptides with lengths between 14 and 28 amino acids were designed from repeated KIAGKIA motifs, and their...
