摘要

Molecular mechanisms of the action of antimicrobial peptides on bacterial membranes were studied by large scale coarse-grained simulations of magainin 2 dipalmitoylphosphatidyl choline/palmitoyloleoy lphosphatidylglycerol (DPPC/POPG) mixed bilayer systems with spatial extents up to 0.1 micrometers containing up to 1600 peptides. Equilibrium simulations exhibit disordered toroidal pores stabilized by peptides. However, when a layer of peptides is placed near the lipid head groups on one side of the bilayer only, their incorporation leads to a spontaneous buckling of the bilayer. This buckling is followed by the formation of a quasi-spherical vesicular bud connected to the bilayer by a narrow neck. The mean curvature of the budding region is consistent with what is expected based on the dependence of the area perlipid on the peptide-tolipid ratio in equilibrium simulations. Our simulations suggest that the incorporation of antimicrobial peptides on the exterior surface of a vesicle or a bacterial cell leads to buckling and vesicle budding, presumably accompanied by nucleations of giant transient pores of sizes that are much larger than indicated by equilibrium measurements and simulations.
