Integrated solid-state NMR and molecular dynamics modeling determines membrane insertion of human β-defensin analog

Human β-defensins (hBD) play central roles in antimicrobial activities against various microorganisms and in immune-regulation. These peptides perturb phospholipid membranes for function, but it is not well understood how defensins approach, insert and finally disrupt membranes on the molecular leve...
