     Inspection of CD data reveals that, similar to previously reported data for megainin^[sic] peptides [ 33 ], preference of α-helical conformation of TM2 and TM3 segments are different in anionic (SDS) and zwitterionic (DPC) media, reflecting the importance of electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions between the peptides and micelles.
