Binding of peptides (KX)4K to PS, PG, PA, and CL membranes was studied by DSC and FT-IR. Hydrophobicity of X and size of lipid headgroup determines secondary structure when membrane-bound. The secondary structure of (KX)4K can change with temperature. For PS membranes bound β − sheets are transformed to unordered structures above Tm. β − sheets are stable even above Tm when bound to PA and CL membranes.
