Amplifier‐Mediated Activation of Cell‐Penetrating Peptides with Steroids: Multifunctional Anion Transporters for Fluorogenic Cholesterol Sensing in Eggs and Blood

Year: 2008

Type: article

Abstract: Off-the-shelf, prêt-à-porter multianalyte sensing systems are based on the ability of cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs; see picture, blue) to mediate the export of hydrophilic anions (yellow→green) from lipid bilayer vesicles (gray). Covalent capture of hydrophobic analytes (black) with hydrophilic anions (red) produces amphiphilic anions that can activate CPPs.
