Critical Role of Lipid Composition in Membrane Permeabilization by Rabbit Neutrophil Defensins

We have examined the interactions of the six known rabbit neutrophil defensin antimicrobial peptides with large unilamellar vesicles (LUV) made from various lipid mixtures based on the lipid composition of <i>Escherichia coli</i> membranes. We find that the permeabilization of LUV made f...
