Liposomes (total soy extract, total liver extract, cholesterol, and sphingomyelin; 4:4:1:1 ratio) were treated with 1 μM MBP-118–45for 20 min. The liposomes were deposited onto a copper grid, plunged into liquid ethane, and analyzed by TEM. Arrows indicate perturbations to the lipid bilayer of liposomes. Arrowheads indicate MBP-118–45peptide aggregates. Scale bars, 100 nm. Images are representative of 3 independent biological replicates.
