Binding and dimerization of PGLa peptides in anionic lipid bilayer studied by replica exchange molecular dynamics

Abstract The 21-residue PGLa peptide is well known for antimicrobial activity attributed to its ability to compromize bacterial membranes. Using all-atom explicit solvent replica exchange molecular dynamics with solute tempering, we studied PGLa binding to a model anionic DMPC/DMPG bilayer at the hi...
