Abstract:Cushioned lipid bilayers are structures consisting of a lipid bilayer supported on a solid substrate with an intervening layer of soft material. They offer possibilities for studying the behavior and interactions of biological membranes more accurately under physiological conditions. In this work, we continue our studies of cushion formation induced by histatin 5 ( 24 Hst5), focusing on the effect of the length of the peptide chain. 24 Hst5 is a short, positively charged, intrinsically disordered saliva peptid… Show more
