A designed amphiphilic peptide containing the silk fibroin motif as a potential carrier of hydrophobic drugs

The amphiphilic peptide is becoming attractive as a potential drug carrier to improve the dissolvability of hydrophobic drugs in an aqueous system; thus, facilitating drug uptake by target cells. Here, we report a novel designed amphiphilic peptide, Ac-RADAGAGARADAGAGA-NH2, which was able to stabili...
