Cell-Penetrating Recombinant Peptides for Potential Use in Agricultural Pest Control Applications

Several important areas of interest intersect in a class of peptides characterized by their highly cationic and partly hydrophobic structure. These molecules have been called cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) because they possess the ability to translocate across cell membranes. This ability makes th...
