Mechanism of Initial Stage of Pore Formation Induced by Antimicrobial Peptide Magainin 2

Antimicrobial peptide magainin 2 forms pores in lipid bilayers, a property that is considered the main cause of its bactericidal activity. Recent data suggest that tension or stretching of the inner monolayer plays an important role in magainin 2-induced pore formation in lipid bilayers. Here, to el...
