Even 30 years after the discovery of magainins, biophysical and structural investigations on
how these peptides interact with membranes can still bear surprises and add new …

The study of peptide-lipid and peptide-peptide interactions as well as their topology and
dynamics using biophysical and structural approaches have changed our view how …

Conspectus Membrane proteins mediate a plethora of cellular functions and represent
important targets for drug development. Unlike soluble proteins, membrane proteins require …

Multiplexing NMR experiments by direct detection of multiple free induction decays (FIDs) in
a single experiment offers a dramatic increase in the spectral information content and often …

A synergistic enhancement of activities has been described for the amphipathic cationic
antimicrobial peptides magainin 2 and PGLa when tested in antimicrobial assays or in …

A variety of biomolecules acting on the cell membrane folds into a biologically active
structure in the membrane environment. It is, therefore, important to determine the structures …

Obtaining site-specific assignments for the NMR spectra of proteins in the solid state is a
significant bottleneck in deciphering their biophysics. This is primarily due to the time …

Dynamic nuclear polarization (DNP) boosts the sensitivity of NMR spectroscopy by orders of
magnitude and makes investigations previously out of scope possible. For magic‐angle …

The membrane topology of the peptide 18A, a derivative of apolipoprotein AI, is investigated
in structural detail. Apolipoprotein AI is the dominant protein component of high density …

Natural liquid crystalline membranes are made up of many different lipids carrying a mixture
of saturated and unsaturated fatty acyl chains. Whereas in the past considerable attention …
