Computational studies of cell-penetrating peptides interactions with complex membranes models
- Abstract:
-
Membrane active peptides with the ability to cross the plasma membrane represent a promising class of therapeutic compounds. However, translocation efficacy and membrane toxicity of these peptides appear correlated and a better understanding of their mechanisms of action is needed to achieve the desired effect. Here, a range of coarse grain molecular dynamics simulations have been performed to systematically investigate the interactions of such cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) with biologi...
