UBI (31-38)

UBI (31-38) undergoes a random coil-to-structural transition in TFE-containing buffer and in an anionic model bacterial membrane^[1].
UBI (31-38) selectively binds to anionic model bacterial membranes (POPG LUVs) with an association constant of 2.58 × 10⁵/M, while showing no significant interaction with zwitterionic model mammalian membranes (POPC LUVs)^[1].
UBI (31-38) (2 h) uptake by Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 is driven by electrostatic interactions^[1].
UBI (31-38) induces aggregation of anionic model bacterial membranes (POPG LUVs) at peptide-to-lipid molar ratios of 10% and above, with significant aggregation occurring at 40% P/L, while having no effect on zwitterionic model mammalian membranes (POPC LUVs)^[1].
UBI (31-38) (P/L = 4%) restricts the lateral motion of lipids in anionic model bacterial membranes (DPPG LUVs) at a peptide-to-lipid molar ratio of 4%, reducing the lateral diffusion coefficient by 28%, while leaving lipid internal motions unaffected^[1].
