title = "Interactions of magainin-2 amide with membrane lipids",
abstract = "Magainin-2 is a natural peptide that kills bacteria at concentrations that are harmless to animal cells. Molecular modelling methods were applied to investigate basic mechanisms of magainin-2 amide (M2a) membrane selectivity. Three computer models of a lipid matrix of either animal or bacterial membrane containing M2a were constructed and simulated. Specific interactions between membrane lipids and M2a peptides, responsible for M2a selectivity are elucidated.",
