First comparative study of antimicrobial activity and membrane interaction of the four principal viscosin group cyclic lipopeptides The lipopeptides induce vesicle permeabilization, but not fusion in PE/PG/cardiolipin model membranes Activity against Gram-positive bacteria and membrane permeabilization are affected by the Glu2/Gln2 structural variation, but not by the Leu5 stereochemistry The conformation of the lipopeptides is retained upon membrane insertion Lipopeptide insertion increases POPC bilayer fluidity and is impaired by cholesterol
