This review provides an overview of the latest developments in both experimental and
simulation techniques used to assess the bending rigidity of lipid membranes. It places …

Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) damage the cell membrane of bacterial cells and induce
rapid leakage of the internal cell contents, which is a main cause of their bactericidal activity …

To clarify the damage of lipid bilayer region in bacterial cell membrane caused by
antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) and antimicrobial compounds (AMCs) to cell membranes …

The methodology of constant tension-induced rupture of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs)
has provided information on tension-induced pore formation. This method was used to …

The pore edge tension (Γ) of a membrane closely intertwines with membrane stability and
plays a vital role in the mechanisms that facilitate membrane resealing following pore …

Living organisms maintain a resting membrane potential, which plays an important role in
various biophysical and biological processes. In the context of medical applications …

The hydrophilic polymer polyethylene glycol-grafted phospholipid has been used
extensively in the study of artificial vesicles, nanomedicine, and antimicrobial …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a unique and diverse group of molecules endowed with a
broad spectrum of antibiotics properties that are being considered as new alternative …

Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) induce pore formation and a burst of lipid bilayers and
plasma membranes. This causes severe leakage of the internal contents and cell death. The …

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) inhibit the proliferation of or kill bacterial cells. To measure
these activities, several methods have been used, which provide only the average value of …
