pH (low) insertion peptide (pHLIP) inserts across a lipid bilayer as a helix and exits by a different path

What are the molecular events that occur when a peptide inserts across a membrane or exits from it? Using the pH-triggered insertion of the pH low insertion peptide to enable kinetic analysis, we show that insertion occurs in several steps, with rapid (0.1 sec) interfacial helix formation, followed...
