Direct entry of cell-penetrating peptide can be controlled by maneuvering the membrane curvature
Abstract A biomembrane's role is to be a barrier for interior cytosol from an exterior environment to execute the cell's normal biological functions. However, a water-soluble peptide called cell-penetrating peptide (CPP) has been known for its ability to directly penetrate through the biom...
