Yh. Chen et al., INFLUENCE OF LIPID-COMPOSITION ON PEDIOCIN PA-1 BINDING TO PHOSPHOLIPID-VESICLES, Applied and environmental microbiology, 64(9), 1998, pp. 3530-3532
Pediocin PA-1 bound to anionic lipid vesicles with saturated or unsatu
rated fatty acid chains in a lipid concentration-dependent fashion. Li
ttle change in binding parameters was observed for zwitterionic lipid
vesicles. Decreasing the anionic lipid content of the vesicles gave a
higher relative dissociation constant for the peptide-lipid interactio
ns and further supports the electrostatic interaction model of binding
.
