title: Acyl transfer from phosphocholine lipids to melittin.
abstract: Transfer of fatty acyl groups from membrane phospholipids to melittin, a commonly studied membrane-active peptide, has been observed to occur over extended time periods. Transfer can be detected after 1-2 days and selectively targets amino groups at the N-terminal end of the peptide.
