Abstract：
Alamethicin is a 20-amino acid membrane-active peptide from the fungus Trichoderma viride that spontaneously inserts into lipid membranes and self-associates into transmembrane channels. It has an antimicrobial activity against fungi and Gram-positive bacteria. We have investigated the effect of the peptide on the structure of lipid membranes by X-ray scattering method. The highly aligned stacks of membranes were prepared by evaporation of organic solutions of alamethicin and 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine deposited on clean silicon surfaces and were immersed in excess ultra pure water. The in-situ X-ray measurements show that the membranes with inserted peptides become thinner and softer at high molar peptide/lipid ratio.
