Cellular import of functional peptides to block intracellular signaling.
They created aggregates of simple polyglutamine peptides in vitro and introduced them to mammalian cells in culture.
Antimicrobial peptide pores in membranes detected by neutron in plane scattering.
It turns out that amphipathicity simply prevented peptide washout, but was not essential for the internalization.
These two peptides seemed to be products of prestressed protoscoleces.
Finally, oxytocin's effects on maternal bonding can be disrupted via blockade of m-opiod receptors, underscoring the relation between oxytocin and opioid peptides.
Above a threshold concentration, the peptide disrupts the lipid packing, which leads to the internalization of the peptide.
