Abstract
⺠Effect of cholesterol on antimicrobial peptide induced membrane disruption in different lipid phases was tested. ⺠Cholesterol had no effect on the AMP-induced membrane disruption in liquid disordered phase. ⺠Formation of liquid ordered phase by cholesterol strongly inhibited membrane disruption by an AMP. ⺠Cholesterol had no effect on the disruption of raft membranes with liquid ordered-liquid disordered coexistence.
