Comparative Structural and Biophysical Investigation of <i>Lycosa erythrognatha</i> Toxin I (LyeTx I) and Its Analog LyeTx I-b by Amanda Neves de Souza, Gabriele de Azevedo Cardoso, Lúcio Otávio Nunes, Christopher Aisenbrey, Evgeniy Salnikov, Kelton Rodrigues de Souza, Ahmad Saad, Maria Elena de Lima, Jarbas Magalhães Resende, Burkhard Bechinger, Rodrigo Moreira Verly

“…<b>Results:</b> Circular dichroism and solid-state NMR analyses revealed that, while both peptides adopt α-helical conformations in membrane mimetic environments, LyeTx I-b exhibits a more amphipathic and extended helical structure, which correlates with its enhanced membrane interaction. The thermodynamic properties of the peptide–membrane interactions were quantitatively evaluated in the presence of phospholipid bilayers using ITC and DSC, highlighting a greater propensity of LyeTx I-b to disrupt lipid vesicles. …”
