Abstract

The application of 2H solid-state NMR in determining structure activity relationships and mechanism of action of membrane active peptides is discussed. The enhancement of the disruption of anionic lipids in the membrane by new lead compounds is shown to be a key determinant of both DNA vector and antimicrobial activity.

Keywords: Solid-state NMR, gene transfer, antibiotic peptides, histidine, LAH4, pleurocidin
