J Phys Chem B
. 2009 Mar;
113(14):4846-52.
PMID: 19267489
Antimicrobial peptide magainin 2 forms pores in lipid membranes to induce leakage of internal contents of cells, which is a main cause of its bactericidal activity. However, the conditions and...

Biochemistry
. 2005 Nov;
44(48):15823-33.
PMID: 16313185
It is thought that magainin 2, an antimicrobial peptide, acts by binding to lipid membranes. Recent studies using a suspension of large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) indicate that magainin 2 causes...
