Figure 3. The helix αH6 specifically inserts into CL-monolayers through electrostatic interactions and reorganizes them into microdomains.

Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), bovine heart CL (BHCL) and tetramyristoyl CL (TMCL) were spread at an initial surface pressure of 20 mN/m. αH6 and αH6m (1 µM) were injected into the subphase of these lipids monolayers. (A) The surface pressure changes (B) and epifluorescence images (C) were recorded as described previously (Gonzalvez et al 2005, CDD).
