Abstract excerpt
Precise regulation of membrane-active peptide activity is a frontier of research to facilitate its applicational translation. A clear understanding of how a peptide's physicochemical properties determine its mode of action (MOA) will aid the process. Herein, anionic glutamate residue-based scanning was applied to the hydrophobic surface of a self-assembling lysine-rich cationic amphipathic peptide (CAP) KL1....
