Peptide–membrane interactions form one of the recurring themes in laboratory work on LL-37, the 37-amino-acid sequence derived from human cathelicidin and offered here in synthetic form.
Studies have placed the sequence within peptide biochemistry, molecular signalling, cellular communication and molecular interactions more broadly. Characterisation reported in the literature covers secondary structure, physicochemical characteristics, peptide stability, sequence-dependent molecular behaviour and structure–function relationships, all determined under controlled laboratory conditions.
