Molecular dynamics simulations of a new branched antimicrobial peptide : a comparison of force fields by Li, Jianguo, Lakshminarayanan, Rajamani, Bai, Yang, Liu, Shouping, Zhou, Lei, Pervushin, Konstantin, Verma, Chandra, Beuerman, Roger W.

“…Although the four force fields predict different structures of B2088, they all show that B2088 stabilizes against the head group of the lipid through hydrogen bonding of its Lys and Arg side chains. This leads us to hypothesize that B2088 is unlikely to penetrate into the hydrophobic region of the membrane owing to the high free energy costs of transfer from water, and possibly acts by carpeting and thus disrupting the membrane.…”
