AP1 (GEQGALAQFGEWL) was shown by theoretical analysis to be an anionic oblique-orientateda-helix former. The peptide exhibited a mono-layer surface area of nm 2 , implying possession of a-helical structure at an air⁄water interface, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed the peptide to be a-helical (100%) in the presence of vesi-cle mimics of Escherichia colimembranes. | ễFEBS Journal Investigations into the ability of an oblique a-helical template to provide the basis for design of an antimicrobial anionic amphiphilic peptide Sarah R.

The peptide exhibited a monolayer surface area of nm2 implying possession of a-helical structure at an air water interface and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FTIR showed the peptide to be a-helical 100 in the presence of vesicle mimics of Escherichia coli membranes. FTIR lipid-phase transition analysis showed the peptide to induce large decreases in the fluidity of these E. coli membrane mimics and Langmuir-Blodgett trough analysis found the peptide to induce large surface pressure changes in monolayer mimics of E. coli membranes mN-m-1 . Analysis of compression isotherms based on mixing enthalpy AH and the Gibbs free energy of mixing AGMix predicted that these monolayers were thermodynamically stable AH and AGMix each negative but were destabilized by the presence of the peptide AH and AGMix each positive . The peptide was found to have a minimum lethal concentration of 3 mM against E. coli and was seen to cause lysis of erythrocytes at 5 mM. In
