Abstract	The selectivity (Ref.1) of various bacterialmembranes as opposed to mammalian membranes exhibited by many cationic antimicrobial peptides is poorly understood. Molecular dynamics simulations are a useful tool for exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms for this selectivity. The interaction of the cationic peptide HHC-10, a novel antimicrobial peptide recently designed through a neural network investigations of large families of antimicrobial peptides, is studied when in the vicinity of a pure POPC (mammalian model)membrane and mixed POPG/POPE (bacterial model) membrane.
