FIGURE 2.
Hemolysis of rat erythrocytes as a function of increasing concentration of peptides corresponding to native melittin (○), N-ter (•), and Lys-7 (□) NBD-melittin analogs. The hemolytic assay was carried out at room temperature (23°C). The data points shown are the mean ± SE of at least three independent measurements. Data for native melittin are taken from Raghuraman and Chattopadhyay (31). See Materials and Methods for other details.
