Multiscale Decoupling in Peptide-Membrane Interactions: From Elastic Softening to Domain-Mediated Stiffening
Membrane composition plays a central role in determining how antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) interact with and alter the physical properties of lipid membranes. Here, we investigate the composition-dependent mechanical and structural response of lipid membranes to the AMP aurein using neutron spin-echo (NSE) spectroscopy...
