Notes:
The micellization and the interactions with lipid vesicles of the antifungal cyclic lipopeptide iturin A have been investigated by nanosecond pulse fluorometry of a D-tyrosyl residue. We show that this lipopeptide has three conformers in solution whose proportions are modified during the micellization process. Below the critical micellar concentration (CMC) iturin A does not self-associate inside the bilayer. Above the CMC all the molecules of iturin A interact with the vesicles and self-associate inside the membrane.
