Case Studies Cell Penetrating Peptides Attached to a CPP, therapeutic cargo is delivered to an intracellular target, thus overcoming the entry restrictions set by the plasma membrane. 14
Case Studies N-Terminal Acetylation and C-Terminal Amidation Both modifications are free of charge Chemically synthesized peptides have free amino and carboxyl termini. N-terminal acetylation and C-terminal amidation reduce the overall charge of the peptide. This can increase the stability of the peptide and its resemblance to the native protein. 15
