Channel current analysis estimates the pore-formation and the penetration of transmembrane peptides

Abstract

We measured the current signal of the transmembrane model peptides using the barrel-stave, toroidal pore, and penetration models in order to establish a precise assignment of the channel signals. In addition, we analyzed the spike signals to estimate the membrane penetration of model cell-penetration peptides of different lengths.
