Membranolytic Mechanism of Amphiphilic Antimicrobial β-Stranded [KL](n) Peptides
Amphipathic peptides can act as antibiotics due to membrane permeabilization. KL peptides with the repetitive sequence [Lys-Leu](n)-NH(2) form amphipathic β-strands in the presence of lipid bilayers. As they are known to kill bacteria in a peculiar length-dependent manner, we suggest here several di...
