Membrane-Peptide Interactions: From Basics to Current Applications 2.0

Sónia Gonçalves et al. Int J Mol Sci. .

Abstract

The interaction between peptides and biological membranes is of fundamental importance in the mechanism of numerous membrane-mediated cellular processes, including antimicrobial peptide action, hormone-receptor interactions, drug bioavailability across the blood-brain barrier, and viral fusion processes [...].
