Abstract
⺠The selectivity of the antimicrobial peptide NK-2 to procaryotes is studied. ⺠MD simulations using thermodynamic integration prove stronger binding to procaryotes. ⺠Electrostatic attraction between peptide and anionic lipids is compensated. ⺠Release of counterions has major impact on binding affinity. ⺠Competing interactions are listed.
