Figure 2.
Increase of (A) fluorescence intensity, ΔF, and maximum of (B) fluorescence emission, λmax, versus L:P ratio for peptides E∗, K∗, and the complexes E∗/K, K∗/E mixed with vesicles. Apparent binding isotherms of K∗ and K∗/E binding to DOPC:DOPE:cholesterol (2:1:1). Xb∗ is the molar ratio of bound peptide to accessible total lipid and Cf the concentration of free peptide. Straight lines are linear fits of the data yielding as slope the displayed apparent partition coefficients, Kp. To see this figure in color, go online.
