Stretch-activated pore of the antimicrobial peptide, magainin 2

Antimicrobial peptide magainin 2 forms pores in lipid membranes and induces membrane permeation of the cellular contents. Although this permeation is likely the main cause of its bactericidal activity, the mechanism of pore formation remains poorly understood. We therefore investigated in detail the...
