Comparison of physical features of peptides used in this study. Hydrophobicity (H) and mean hydrophobic moment (μH) are shown according to the Combined Consensus scale¹ or Eisenberg scale² and were calculated using the HydroMCalc Java applet made available by Alex Tossi (http://www.bbcm.univ.trieste.it/~tossi/HydroCalc/HydroMCalc.html). All peptides contain eight lysine residues and are amidated at the C-terminus conferring a nominal charge of +9 at neutral pH.
