This work investigates the discrimination of lipid monolayers by the ovine antimicrobial peptide SMAP-29 and compares it to that of the human LL-37 peptide. Fluid phospholipid monolayers were formed in a Langmuir trough and subsequently studied with the X-ray scattering techniques of X-ray reflectivity and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction. Any changes in the phospholipid structure after injection of peptide under the monolayer were considered to be due to interactions between the peptides and ...[more]
