Peptide-lipid interactions are pertinent to antimicrobial peptides (AMP) activity, stringency, and selectivity. The ability of AMPs to disrupt the target cell's lipid bilayer has been described using the nonspecific ''carpet'' model or using models that assume stable transbilayer pores (e.g. barrel stave pores). With the
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
