Non-metabolic membrane tubulation and permeability induced by bioactive peptides.
BACKGROUND:Basic cell-penetrating peptides are potential vectors for therapeutic molecules and display antimicrobial activity. The peptide-membrane contact is the first step of the sequential processes leading to peptide internalization and cell activity. However, the molecular mechanisms involved i...
