The structural basis of this was clarified by neutron reflectometry, demonstrating that the virus-like nanoparticles induce trans-membrane defects and promote incorporation of LL-37 throughout both bilayer leaflets. The relevance of such effects of particle spikes for bacterial membrane rupture was further demonstrated by confocal microscopy and live/dead assays on Escherichia coli bacteria. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that topography influences the interaction of nanoparticles with bacteria-mimicking lipid bilayers,
