Binding of penetratin and Tat peptide to LUVs of different lipid content

Lipid mixture K app (μM)
Penetratin Tat
PC/PG 9.0 ± 5.0 12 ± 7.5
Chol/SM/PC/PG 2.7 ± 0.5 10 ± 0.3
Chol/SM/Cer/PC/PG 1.7 ± 1.1 0.8 ± 0.2

PC/PG: 95/5 mol%; Chol/SM/PC/PG: 20/50/25/5 mol%; Chol/SM/Cer/PC/PG: 20/40/10/25/5. For calculation of K app, it was assumed that 50 % of the total lipids were accessible to the peptide in LUV

Chol cholesterol, Cer ceramide
