Annealing acceleration activity and double-strand stabilization activity of Tat-derived peptides do not correlate. (A) Sequences of scrambled peptides scr1-3, based on Tat(44-61) wildtype sequence (WT). (B) Observed annealing constants kann of scr1-3 as measured using the FRET-based annealing assay. (C) The Tat peptide and the scrambled peptides increased the stability of double-stranded 21R RNA (and thus the melting temperature) as was measured with UV melting. α(T) = folded(T) / (unfolded(T) + folded(T)).
