TL;DR: Genetically engineered nisin variants are used to identify the structural requirements for the interaction of the peptide with lipid II, and the remaining in vivo activity is found to result from the unaltered capacity of the mutated peptide to bind to lipid II and thus to inhibit its incorporation into the peptidoglycan network.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that 2H NMR can serve as a convenient tool to study both structure and dynamics of different monoglyceride-water phases.

TL;DR: The results show that lysozyme inserts efficiently into all monolayers tested, including pure monoglyceride layers, and a large exothermic binding enthalpy was observed which was found to depend on the nature of the monoglycersides but not of the proteins.
