Synergism of Antimicrobial Frog Peptides Couples to Membrane Intrinsic Curvature Strain

Mixtures of the frog peptides magainin 2 and PGLa are well-known for their pronounced synergistic killing of Gram-negative bacteria. We aimed to gain insight into the underlying biophysical mechanism by interrogating the permeabilizing efficacies of the peptides as a function of stored membrane curv...
