Effect of acyl chain length on the structure and motion of gramicidin A in lipid bilayers

B A Cornell et al. Biochim Biophys Acta. .

Abstract

The transmembrane ion transport properties of gramicidin A have previously been shown to dependent on the nature of its lipid environment. Solid-state NMR spectroscopic studies of 13C-labelled analogues of gramicidin in oriented multilayers of phosphatidylcholine have shown that variation of the lipid hydrocarbon chain length has no effect on the structure or orientation of the peptide backbone.
