The interactions of the antimicrobial peptide, maculatin 1.1 (GLFGVLAKVAAHVVPAIAEHF-NH2) and two analogues, with model phospholipid membranes have been studied using solid-state NMR and circular dichroism spectroscopy. Maculatin 1.1 and the P15G and P15A analogues displayed minimal secondary structure in water, but with zwitterionic dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) vesicles displayed a significant increase in α-helical content. In mixed phospholipid vesicles of DMPC and anionic dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG), each peptide was highly structured with ~80% α-helical content. In DMPC vesicles, the native peptide displayed moderate head group interaction and significant perturbation of the lipid acyl chains. In DMPC/DMPG vesicles, maculatin 1.1 promoted formation of a DMPG-enriched phase and moderately increased disorder towards acyl chain ends of DMPC in the mixed bilayer. Both analogues showed reduced phospholipid head group interactions with DMPC but displayed significant interactions with the mixed lipid system. These effects support the preferential activity of these antimicrobial peptides for bacterial membranes.
