NR Study of Selective Binding of a-Helix Antimicrobial Peptides onto Bacterial and Red Blood Cells Membrane Mimics Using Floating Bilayers

DOI

In this work we will explore how to use PolRef to study the binding of our rationally designed peptide amphiphiles onto floating lipid bilayers mimicking G- bacterial and red blood cell membranes. To help gain insight into the selective binding processes, we will select 2 representative peptides at 2 concentrations (below and above their MICs to typical bacteria) under 3 contrasts (d- and h-lipids and H2O/D2O), requesting 6 days of PolRef beam time. This work will provide valuable molecular insight of peptide selectivity to different membranes under different conditions.
