Solid-state NMR structure of piscidin 1 in aligned 3:1 phosphatidylcholine/phosphoglycerol lipid bilayers
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 24410116
Function
[MORO_MORSA] Exhibits broad spectrum antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as against a variety of fungi. Has hemolytic activity. Seems to disrupt the membranes by adopting an alpha helical conformation and forming toroidal pores.[1] [2]
