Basic description
|
The HIV Tat-derived peptide is a small basic peptide that has been successfully shown to deliver a large variety of cargoes, from small particles to proteins, peptides and nucleic acids. The 'transduction domain' or region conveying the cell penetrating properties appears to be confined to a small (9 amino acids) stretch of basic amino acids, with the sequence RKKRRQRRR.
