  • One of the peptides MCaUF1-9 stood out as atypical since the net charge of the peptide was 0 and its cell penetration properties LTBP1 differed to some extent from your significantly more basic other MCa-derived truncated peptides. (biomasswars.com)
  • Penetration of this peptide occurred at polarized ends of CHO cells. (biomasswars.com)
  • Its penetration didn't rely in any way on macropinocytosis for cell entrance (at least when combined to a dye as cargo). (biomasswars.com)
  • Entirely the properties of Tedalinab MCaUF1-9 appeared interesting more than enough to warrant a far more in-depth analysis of its cell penetration properties. (biomasswars.com)
  • The data point to fresh very powerful CPP with unprecedented efficacies and demonstrate the pH-sensitivities of several of our analogues for cell penetration. (biomasswars.com)
  • We compared the effectiveness of MCaUF1-9 for cell penetration within the glioma rat cell collection F98 to additional very popular peptides comprising TAT penetratin (Pen) and poly-Arg (poly-R). All peptides included an additional C-terminal Cys residue that was labeled with the Cy5 fluorochrome which served the purpose of cargo with this study. (biomasswars.com)
  • However, it was shown to affect the penetration depth of the peptide into the bilayer, where all variants except the one with zero histidines were found below the bilayer. (lu.se)
