| Abstract | The interactions between membranes and peptides depend on the detailed peptides' structure, lipid composition, and membrane structure. Here, we study the interaction of lipid membrane with a short peptide, which under certain conditions may penetrate cells. Using solution X-ray scattering, we investigated the structures that form when mixing the peptide Ac-Gly-Phe-D-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly-NH2 with a variety of lipid membranes. We studied how lipid mixtures, containing lipids with different properties, control the interactions and, thereby the structures of the resulting lipid–peptide complexes. We found that below a critical concentration the peptides associate with the lipid bilayers and thin the membranes. For a fraction of charged lipids below 0.75 and above some critical peptide concentration, the peptide can bridge like-charged membranes. Moreover, the peptide can charge zwitterionic DOPC membranes, or convert the inverted hexagonal phase of the DOPE lipid into a multilamellar phase. We attribute these observations to a balance between hydrophobic, electrostatic, entropic, and steric effects, associated with the specific structures of the peptide and membranes. The two short hydrophobic moieties of the peptide favor the hydrophobic part of the membranes, whereas its charged amino acid (Arg), situated in the middle, prefers the aqueous environment. The membrane charge density, spontaneous curvature, lipid packing parameter, as well as solution conditions were carefully studied and allow a comprehensive understanding of these assemblies under a consistent framework. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
