Phosphate-dependent aggregation of [KL](n) peptides affects their membranolytic activity
In this study, we investigate how the length of amphiphilic β-sheet forming peptides affects their interaction with membranes. Four polycationic model peptides with lengths from 6 to 18 amino acids were constructed from simple Lys-Leu repeats, giving [KL](n=3,5,7,9). We found that (1) they exhibit a...
