The thermal fluctuation and elasticity of dioleoyl-phosphocholine large unilamellar vesicle interacting with pore-forming peptide, melittin, were investigated by neutron spin-echo measurements. The relaxation behavior of the membrane fluctuation with different peptide to lipid molar ratio P/L
can be divided into three regions, resulting from characteristic changes of the effective bending modulus ¥ê ˜
of the membrane which includes the effects of internal dissipation within the membrane. At low P/L
, melittin is adsorbed parallel to the surface of membrane and ¥ê ˜
decreases significantly due to perturbation of hydrocarbon chain packing. At a critical P/L
, melittin forms pores in the membrane and ¥ê ˜
starts to increase slightly due to high pore rigidity. At higher P/L
where the repulsive interpore interaction becomes significant, ¥ê ˜
increases rapidly.
