Melittin : a membrane-active peptide with diverse functions

TL;DR: The solution and membrane properties ofmelittin are highlighted, with an emphasis on melittin–membrane interaction using biophysical approaches, and the recent applications of melitt in various cellular processes are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Instantaneous ion configurations in the K+ ion channel selectivity filter revealed by 2D IR spectroscopy.

TL;DR: 2D IR spectra of a semisynthetic KcsA channel with site-specific heavy isotope labels in the selectivity filter provide an instantaneous snapshot of the multi-ion configurations and structural distributions that occur spontaneously in the filter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interaction of Melittin with Membrane Cholesterol: A Fluorescence Approach

TL;DR: The results show that the presence of cholesterol inhibits melittin-induced leakage of lipid vesicles and the extent of inhibition appears to be dependent on the concentration of membrane cholesterol.
