Self-activation in de novo designed mimics of cell-penetrating peptides

Author: Som, A.; Tezgel, A.O.; Gabriel, G.J.; Tew, G.N.

Description: DIY transduction: Cell‐penetrating peptides (CPPs) efficiently cross the nonpolar biological membrane, but activation by hydrophobic counterions is essential for transport activity. Polymeric mimics of CPPs are coupled with hydrophobic side chains; the “self‐activation” in these species is demonstrated by transport of the fluorescent probe CF out of bilayer vesicles.
