"... This work has focused on the development of new experimental parameters for membrane-targeting antimicrobials, outside of the known properties of cationic charge and hydrophobicity. OligoTEAs have enabled the synthesis of isoamphipathic oligomers to specifically probe additional parameters in membrane disruption. ... Human red blood cells were purchased from Innovative Research (Novi, MI). ..."
