Nα-Methylation of arginine: Implications for cell-penetrating peptides
The field of cell-penetrating peptides is dominated by the use of oligomers of arginine residues. Octanol-water partitioning in the presence of an anionic lipid is a validated proxy for cell-penetrative efficacy. Here, we add one, two, or three N-methyl groups to Ac-Arg-NH2 and examine the effects o...
