Membrane perturbation activity of cationic phenylene ethynylene oligomers and polymers : selectivity against model bacterial and mammalian membranes

Poly(phenylene ethyneylene) (PPE)-based cationic conjugated polyelectrolytes (CPEs) and cationic phenylene ethynylene oligomers (OPEs) exhibit broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, and their main target is believed to be the cell membrane. To understand better how these antimicrobial molecules inte...
