The interaction of alamethicin with both un-sonicated lecithin multilayers and sonicated bilayer vesicles has been investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance(nmr) spectroscopy and electron microscopy. It is shown that alamethicin is a surface active agent, which interacts primarily i^ Llamethicin (Payne et al., 1970), an extracellular ma-crocyclic polypeptide from the fungus Trichoderma viride (Meyer and Reusser, 1967), has been shown to induce ion movements across certain biological membranes (Pressman, 1968). It has also been shown that this antibiotic interacts with black lipid membranes to form voltage gateable ion channels with discrete conductance states (Muller and Rudin, 1968; Gordon and Flaydon, 1972). Since alamethi-cin itself is not known to be translocated across a black lipid membrane, it has been proposed that voltage gateable ion pores are induced by alamethicin (Eisenberg et al., 1973). A knowledge of the mode of interaction of alamethicin with phospholipid bilayer membranes is essential toward the understanding of the action of this antibiotic. Various methods may be used to elucidate this interaction, including electrical measurements (Eisenberg et al., 1973; Lau and Hall, 1974), X-ray diffraction and differential scanning cal-orimetry (Chapman et al., 1969), electron spin resonance (esr) spin labeling (Finer et al., 1969; Levine et al., 1973), circular dichroism (McMullen et al., 1971), and fluores-cence techniques (Case et al., 1974). Nuclear magnetic res-onance (nmr) spectroscopy, however, offers unique advantages by virtue of its sensitivity towardunravelling structural details and environmental changes.
