Molecular dynamics simulation study of the interaction of cationic biocides with lipid bilayers : aggregation effects and bilayer damage

A novel class of phenylene ethynylene polyelectrolyte oligomers (OPEs) has been found to be effective biocidal agents against a variety of pathogens. The mechanism of attack is not yet fully understood. Recent studies have shown that OPEs cause catastrophic damage to large unilamellar vesicles. This...
