Bioactivity | Octaarginine TFA is a cell-penetrating peptide (CPP). CPPs show membrane translocation activities. CPPs are used for intracellular delivery of various membrane-impermeable bioactive agents because of their intrinsic ability to gain access to cell interiors. CPPs have also been used to deliver antibacterial agents to target intracellular bacteria[1]. | ||||||
