The interaction of antimicrobial peptides with lipopolysaccharide aggregates and model membranes
Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) released from the outer membrane (OM) of Gram negative bacteria form aggregates which trigger an in ammatory response in humans and can result in severe septic shock. LPS molecules are heterogenic, macroamphiphilic oligosaccharides with a pro-in ammatory activity strictly r...
