Secondary structures adopted by MPER peptides when conjugated to liposomesa

Peptide % α-Helix % β-Sheet % Randomb
2F5 nominal epitope peptide 29.0 29.0 42.0
4E10 nominal epitope peptide 38.0 8.0 54.0
Biepitope peptide 33.0 17.0 50.0
a

Determined by deconvolution of CD spectra of the peptide-lipid conjugates.

b

Includes beta bends, which are not well estimated by the method employed here (3).
