Simulations reveal that antimicrobial BP100 induces local membrane thinning, slows lipid dynamics and favors water penetration

BP100, a short antimicrobial peptide, produces membrane perturbations that depend on lipid structure and charge, salts presence, and peptide/lipid molar ratios. As membrane perturbation mechanisms are not fully understood, the atomic scale nature of peptide/membrane interactions requires a close-up...
