This study uses fluorescence, cryo-EM, and simulations to show how R9 peptides interact with membranes, causing structural changes like budding and stacking, and proposes a unified mechanism for their penetration.

This study quantifies weak like-charge pairing of guanidinium ions in water using NMR, MD simulations, and cryo-EM, contrasting with ammonium ions and showing oligoarginine aggregation.

This study uses molecular dynamics simulations to show that polyarginine peptides aggregate at POPC membranes, with aggregation increasing under higher ionic strength due to salting-out effects.
