| The alpha-helix of magainin is parallel to the membrane surface, with its nonpolar side (F5, L6, F16, I20) buried in the hydrophobic region of the membrane (Matsuzaki et al. 1994, Marassi et al. 2000). The transfer energy is strongly overestimated (~ -8 kcal/mol in the experiment, Wieprecht et al. 1999), because part of the transfer energy must be spent to fold an alpha-helix from a coil in aqueous solution, prior to insertion of the helix into membrane. |
