Figure 5. Cartoon schematic of possible interactions of KβNspeK and RβNspeR with (A) DPPG and (B) Kdo-2 Lipid A monolayers at 30 mN × m–1.

Figure 5

Chimeras carrying amino groups are solely located in the polar head-moieties of DPPG accompanied with considerable thinning of the entire monolayer, whereas their guanidino-substituted analogues form an extra layer on the surface of lipid film resulting in more compact distribution of inserted molecules within the model membrane. Unlike DPPG, the insertion mechanisms of KβNspe and RβNspe into Kdo-2 Lipid A model look nearly identical.
