“…Analysis of these spectra showed that the α-helicity of these peptides was lower than in the case of a TFE and PBS (10 mM, 3) and ranged between 48.9 % and 66.6% for SUVs formed from DMPG (Table 4, Figure 6A), and between 34.3 % and 47.9 % for those formed from DMPE (Table 4, Figure 6B). These levels of α-helical structure are consistent with previous reports [27] and generally comparable to those adopted by other aureins [63,67,68]. Aurein 2.1, aurein 2.6 and aurein 3.1 induced maximal surface pressures in monolayers formed from DMPG that varied between π = 9.8 mN m -1 and π = 12.0 mN m -1 , and between π = 7.7 mN m -1 and π = 8.5 mN m -1 in those formed from DMPE (Table 4, Figure 7).…”
