Melittin partitioned into the polar headgroup region of the lipid bilayer. (A) Snapshot of the simulation cell showing two melittin molecules (MLT1 and MLT2, in yellow) at the lipid-water interface. (B) Density cross-section of the simulation cell extracted from the 17-μs simulation. The peptides are typically located below the lipid phosphate (PO4) groups, in a similar depth as the glycerol/carbonyl (G/C) groups.
