Abstract
The article presents a study on the membrane-alignment of the -helical amphiphilic antimicrobial peptide PGLa in DMPC/DMPG bilayers by utilizing solid state 19F NMR spectroscopy. It shows that the helix alignment depends not just on peptide concentration but also with temperature and lipid phase state. It reveals three distinct states of alignment that have been discovered for PGLa in lipid bilayers.
