ABSTRACT
Many factors contribute to bacterial membrane stabilization, including steric effects between lipids, membrane spontaneous curvature, and the difference in the number of neighboring molecules. This forum provides an overview of the physicochemical properties associated with membrane curvature and how this parameter can be tuned to design more effective antimicrobial peptides.
