The conformational preferences of selected Lys-containing analogues were assessed by CDand 2D-NMR techniques in aqueous, organic, and membrane-mimetic environments. These<strong>com</strong>pounds were found to be mostly helical under the different experimental conditionsexamined. The role played in the analogues by the markedly increased amphiphilicity (oneface is, partially or totally, positively charged) was further tested by fluorescence leakageexperiments in model membranes, protease resistance, antibacterial and antifungalactivities, cytotoxicity, and hemolysis (Figure 2).120100melittin[Lys 2,5,6,9 ]-trichogin[Lys 5,6 ]-trichogin80Hemolysis(%)604020[Lys 2,5,9 , Aib 6 ]-trichogin[Lys 9 ,Leu-OMe 11 ]-trichoginand Trichogin00 5 10 15 20 25 30 35Peptide conc.
