Antimicrobial Peptides in Action [PDF]
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2006 Molecular dynamics simulations of the magainin MG-H2 peptide interacting with a model phospholipid membrane have been used to investigate the mechanism by which antimicrobial peptides act. Multiple copies of the peptide were randomly placed in solution close to the membrane.
