Abstract

Examines the oligomerization of model transmembrane alpha-helices in lipid bilayers. Development of a fluorescence quenching method using peptides containing 3,5-dibromotryrosine; Role of peptides in the formation of heterodimers in bilayers of phosphatidylcholine in the liquid-crystalline phase; Changes in the free energy of dimer formation.
