Different Biological Activities of Histidine-Rich Peptides Are Favored by Variations in Their Design

The protein transduction and antimicrobial activities of histidine-rich designer peptides were investigated as a function of their sequence and compared to gene transfection, lentivirus transduction and calcein release activities. In membrane environments, the peptides adopt helical conformations wh...
