^aSignal differences (∂) at three characteristic wavelengths comparing spectra recorded at 30–75 °C were correlated with peptide minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) on S. aureus SH1000, cytotoxicity on human dermal microvascular epithelial cells (HDMEC CC₅₀), and the minimal hemolytic concentration of human red blood cells (hRBC MHC). Numbers are Pearson product–moment correlation coefficients ranging from 0 (no correlation) to 1 (perfect correlation).
