Journal ArticleDOI

Peptoidic Amino- and Guanidinium-Carrier Systems: Targeted Drug Delivery into the Cell Cytosol or the Nucleus

TL;DR: In this paper, carrier-peptoids with either amino or guanidinium side chains were investigated with regard to their cellular uptake, toxicity, and intracellular localization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coding and decoding libraries of sequence-defined functional copolymers synthesized via photoligation

TL;DR: It is submitted that the presented photochemical strategy is a viable and advanced concept for coding individual monomer units along a macromolecular chain and the in-depth characterization of each sequence-defined chain confirms the precision nature of the macromolescules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature-dependent transmembrane insertion of the amphiphilic peptide PGLa in lipid bilayers observed by solid state 19F NMR spectroscopy.

TL;DR: The alignment of the antimicrobial peptide PGLa in a lipid bilayer was characterized by solid state 19F NMR on selectively CF3-labeled peptides in oriented samples but as a function of temperature and lipid phase state.
Journal ArticleDOI

The cell-penetrating peptide TAT(48-60) induces a non-lamellar phase in DMPC membranes.

TL;DR: Study of the interaction of the HIV-derived CPP TAT with model membranes by solid-state NMR spectroscopy and electron microscopy indicates that TAT induces the formation of rodlike, presumably inverted micelles in DMPC, which may represent intermediates during the translocation across eukaryotic membranes.
