Acyl transfer from phosphocholine lipids to melittin

Pridmore, Catherine J.; Mosely, Jackie A.; Rodger, Alison; Sanderson, John M.

Abstract

Transfer of fatty acyl groups from membrane phospholipids to melittin, a commonly studied membrane-active peptide, has been observed to occur over extended time periods. Transfer can be detected after 1–2 days and selectively targets amino groups at the N-terminal end of the peptide.
