Solution‐phase conformational analysis of this compound indicates that a defined structure is adopted in the presence of negatively charged phospholipid membranes and aqueous 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol but not in water. A conformation model indicates that the cationic and hydrophobic functional groups are segregated. These results may inform the development of highly selective antimicrobial peptide mimetics for therapeutic
