## Abstract Most antimicrobial peptides exert their activity by interacting with bacterial membranes, thus perturbing their permeability. They are investigated as a possible solution to the insurgence of bacteria resistant to the presently available antibiotic drugs. However, several different mode

## Abstract In an effort to better understand the initial mechanism of selectivity and membrane association of the synthetic antimicrobial peptide NK‐2, we have applied molecular dynamics simulation techniques to elucidate the interaction of the peptide with the membrane interfaces. A homogeneous d
