The "2nd workshop on biophysics of membrane-active peptides" is the second meeting of a series of meetings bringing together researchers from the various fields of membrane biophysics and peptide biochemistry that started with the title " Workshop on biophysics of membrane-permeabilizing and membrane-translocation peptides" in Berlin, in April 2005. Venue: Lisbon, Science Museum (19th century lab and lecture room). Conference call for papers: special theme issue of J Pep Sci. Symposia: 1) Membrane-translocating peptides / Cell penetrating peptides, 2) Membrane-permeabilizing peptides / Antimicrobial peptides, 3) Fusogenic peptides, and 4) Structure and Dynamics in peptide-membrane interaction, Plenary lectures: Jöel Schneider "Bio-active properties of peptide surfaces" Robert Hancock "Antimicrobial peptides" Stuart McLaughlin "Electrostatic interaction of basic peptides with acidic lipids in membranes". - Fifteen contributions will be selected for oral presentations; eight invited topical lectures.
