Structural properties of DRS-DA2N and DRS-DA2NEQ. (a) Far-UV CD spectra of DRS-DA2N, DRS-DA2NEQ, melittin, and Scr in POPE: POPG (75 : 25) LUVs. Data shown are representative of at least three different experiments. (b) NMR structure of DRS-DA2N bound to SDS micelles (ribbon representation of the lowest-energy conformer). Side chains of residues forming the polar and hydrophobic faces are represented by sticks.
