Output Type CPP uptake (fl-HPLC; nmol/mg protein) and degradation profile
Output Value At 10 µM: degraded MAP and penetratin ~30 nmol/mg protein; intact pVEC and all-D-pVEC ~10 nmol/mg; intact MAP/penetratin low at 0.1–1 µM and remain low even at 10 µM.
Output Units
Output Notes Incubation 1 h at 30°C; MAP/penetratin highly degraded; pVEC and all-D-pVEC largely intact. Antimicrobial activity (MIC): E. coli 25 µM for MAP/penetratin/pVEC; B. megaterium 1 µM for MAP/penetratin/pVEC; S. cerevisiae no inhibition at ≤25 µM.
Toxicity Notes Antimicrobial activity (MIC): E. coli 25 µM for MAP/penetratin/pVEC; B. megaterium 1 µM for MAP/penetratin/pVEC; S. cerevisiae no inhibition at ≤25 µM.
