Tolaasin II is an amphiphilic, membrane-active, cyclic lipopeptide produced by Pseudomonas tolaasii and responsible for brown blotch disease in mushroom. To better understand the mode of action membrane selectivity tolaasin related lipopeptides, its permeabilizing effect on liposomes different thickness was characterized. An equi-activity analysis served to distinguish between effects partitioning intrinsic activity membrane-bound peptide. It found that thicker membranes require higher local...

ABSTRACT Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin disease associated with impaired barrier. The barrier function dependent on the extracellular lipid matrix which surrounds corneocytes in stratum corneum. Ceramides comprise essential components of this matrix. Alterations corneum ceramide profile have been directly linked to dysfunction and might be underlying factor impairment psoriasis. In study, we investigated Lesional non‐lesional 26 patients 10 healthy controls were analysed using in‐depth...
