Abstract

We here describe the application of oxime bond formation between a peptide scaffold and different aldehydes to modify the transporting capabilities of penetrating peptides. We show that bonds such as oximes offer a great synthetic advantage for the modification of the properties of model penetrating peptides. We believe that this approach will allow the development of improved intracellular delivery vehicles.
