Novel Cell Penetrating Peptides
- Technology Benefits
- The cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) identified in this technology are of shorter length and simpler structure than most known CPPs. Due to these characteristics, these CPPs are more cost effective to produce and are effective in penetrating cell membranes to deliver cargo.
- Technology Application
- CPPs are an effective way to deliver molecules and agents to the interior of a cell. These peptides may be used in therapeutic applications and demonstrate antimicrobial properties.
