The interest on detailed analysis of peptide-membrane interactions is of great interest in both fundamental and applied sciences as these may relate to both functional and pathogenic events. Such interactions are highly dynamic and spatially heterogeneous, making the investigation of the associated phenomena highly complex. The specific properties of membranes and peptide structural details, together with environmental conditions, may determine different events at the membrane interface, which will drive the fate of the peptide-membrane system. Here, we use an experimental approach based on the combination of spectroscopy and fluorescence microscopy methods to characterize the interactions of the multifunctional amphiphilic peptide transportan 10 with model membranes. Our approach, based on the use of suitable fluorescence reporters, exploits the advantages of phasor plot analysis of fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy measurements to highlight the molecular details of occurring membrane alterations in terms of rigidity and hydration. Simultaneously, it allows following dynamic events in real time without sample manipulation distinguishing, with high spatial resolution, whether the peptide is adsorbed to or inserted in the membrane.
