GALA, Pore-Forming Peptide

GALA is a synthetic 30-residue pH-responsive membrane-active peptide built from repeated EALA motifs. It was designed as a model for viral fusion-like membrane interactions and is widely used to study pH-dependent helix formation, pore formation and intracellular delivery.
