'Previously, by using combinatorial peptide libraries, we have identified activity-optimized decapeptide (KSL, KKVVFKVKFK-NH(2)), which exhibited a broad spectrum of the activity against bacteria and fungi without hemolytic activity. In order to examine lipid requirements and to understand the mode of KSL action, we investigated interactions of the peptide with vesicles ... More
