“…Starting from an aqueous phase, the study was able to simulate, for the first time, the entire event of aggregation and translocation of multiple copies of magainin H2 and subsequent formation of a disordered toroidal pore (see Figure a). Following up this work, there have been numerous computer simulations, majorly focused upon a number of AMPs, namely Melittin (Sengupta, Leontiadou, Mark, & Marrink, ), Alamethicin (Perrin & Pastor, ), and Piscidine (Perrin, Fu, Cotten, & Pastor, ), which have tried to explore the antimicrobial activity of various AMPs at atomistic details. In a recent computer simulation, Ulmschneider ()) has shown computational evidence of direct translocation of highly charged AMP PGLa without the formation of any transmembrane pore.…”
