Gramicidin A induces lysolecithin to form bilayers. 1983

I Pasquali-Ronchetti, and A Spisni, and E Casali, and L Masotti, and D W Urry

Heat-induced association of Gramicidin A with lysolecithin micelles results in the formation of lipid bilayer structures. The capacity of the Gramicidin A peptide to transform the lysolecithin lipid structure from micelle to bilayer is considered in terms of molecular packing mechanisms and relevance to membrane processes in general. The resulting lipid-bilayer-packaged channel system has particular usefulness in characterizing channel structure and mechanism.
