Interactions of Cationic-Hydrophobic Peptides with Lipid Bilayers: A Monte Carlo Simulation Method

We present a computational model of the interaction between hydrophobic cations, such as the antimicrobial peptide, Magainin2, and membranes that include anionic lipids. The peptide's amino acids were represented as two interaction sites: one corresponds to the backbone α-carbon and the other t...
