Direct Visualization of Membrane Leakage Induced by the Antibiotic Peptides: Maculatin, Citropin, and Aurein

Membrane lysis caused by antibiotic peptides is often rationalized by means of two different models: the so-called carpet model and the pore-forming model. We report here on the lytic activity of antibiotic peptides from Australian tree frogs, Maculatin 1.1, Citropin 1.1, and Aurein 1.2, on POPC or...
