Antimicrobial and cell-penetrating peptides induce lipid vesicle fusion by folding and aggregation

According to their distinct biological functions, membrane-active peptides are generally classified as antimicrobial (AMP), cell-penetrating (CPP), or fusion peptides (FP). The former two classes are known to have some structural and physicochemical similarities, but fusogenic peptides tend to have...
