Fig 1. Hemolytic activities of Hst5, P113, di-18Hc, Halocidin-P113 hybrid peptides and control peptide.

1% of triton-X100 was used as the control for 100% hemolysis and 0.01% acetic acid was used as the peptide-free control. Percent hemolysis was calculated with the following equation: Hemolysis (%) = (A₅₄₀ of sample—A₅₄₀ of peptide-free control) / (A₅₄₀ of 100% control—A₅₄₀ of peptide-free control) × 100.
