Interactions of Cationic Peptides and Ions with Negatively Charged Lipid Bilayers
Taheri-Araghi, Sattar (University of Waterloo, 2006)In this thesis we study the interactions of ions and cationic peptides with a negatively charged lipid bilayer in an ionic solution where the electrostatic interactions are screened. <br /><br /> We first examine the ... -
Membrane-Disrupting Activity of Antimicrobial Peptides and the Electrostatic Bending of Membranes
Taheri-Araghi, Sattar (University of Waterloo, 2010-05-21)Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are not only fast microbe-killing molecules deployed in the host defense of living organisms but also offer valuable lessons for developing new therapeutic agents. While the mode of action of ...
