Resolving the structural interactions between antimicrobial peptides and lipid membranes using small-angle scattering methods: the case of indolicidin

Using small angle X-ray and neutron scattering and theoretical modelling we have elucidated the structure of the antimicrobial peptide, indolicidin, and the interaction with model lipid membranes of different anionic lipid compositions mimicking charge densities found in the cytoplasmic membrane of...
