Multiple Membrane Interactions and Versatile Vesicle Deformations Elicited by Melittin

Melittin induces various reactions in membranes and has been widely studied as a model for membrane-interacting peptide; however, the mechanism whereby melittin elicits its effects remains unclear. Here, we observed melittin-induced changes in individual giant liposomes using direct real-time imagin...
