Dynamics and conformational studies of TOAC spin labeled analogues of Ctx(Ile(21))-Ha peptide from Hypsiboas albopunctatus.

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) isolated from several organisms have been receiving much attention due to some specific features that allow them to interact with, bind to, and disrupt cell membranes. The aim of this paper was to study the interactions between a membrane mimetic and the cationic AMP Ct...
