Table 2.

Peptide-lipid monolayer interaction parameters. The data from Figure 1A were fitted using Equation 1, yielding the maximum surface pressure change, ΔΠmax, and the dissociation constant, Kd, values presented here. The data on variation of the surface pressure of POPC:Chol 2:1 monolayer as a function of time after injection of VG peptides at a final concentration of 0.2 µM (Figure 1C) were fitted with Equation 2, permitting the calculation of the kinetic adsorption rate constant, k. Values are means ± standard error of the mean (SEM) of at least 3 experiments.
