[Ionic selectivity of melittin-modified flat lipid bilayers].
It has been established in experiments with the bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) that at pH greater than 6.6 the melittin pores are cation-selective and at lower pH they are more selective by anions. The property of melittin pores is shown to be provided by the amino group of the N-terminal glycine residue. The selectivity of melittin-containing membranes may be controlled by the transmembrane potential, the cross-section of water pores being changed. The data obtained are explained within the alimethicine-like model.
