Arginine-rich peptides destabilize the plasma membrane, consistent with a pore formation translocation mechanism of cell penetrating peptides [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, Volume 97, Issue 7, 7 October 2009, Pages
1917-1925, 2009 Recent molecular dynamics simulations (Herce and Garcia, PNAS, 104: 20805 (2007)) have suggested that the arginine-rich HIV Tat peptides might be able to translocate by destabilizing and inducing transient pores in phospholipid bilayers. In this pathway for peptide translocation, arginine residues play a fundamental role not only in the binding of the ...

Molecules, 2023 Arginine, due to the guanidine moiety, increases peptides’ hydrophilicity and enables interactions with charged molecules, but at the same time, its presence in a peptide chain might reduce its permeability through biological membranes.

Comparative Density Functional Theory and Density Functional Tight Binding Study of Arginine and Arginine-Rich Cell-Penetrating Peptide TAT Adsorption on Anatase TiO2 [PDF]
Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 18, 19902-19917 (2016), 2016 We present a comparative Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Density Functional Tight Binding (DFTB) study of geometries and electronic structures of arginine (Arg), arginine adsorbed on the anatase (101) surface of titania in several adsorption configurations, and of an arginine-rich cell penetrating peptide TAT and its adsorption on the surface of ...

Hyaluronan-Arginine Enhanced Interaction Emerges from Distinctive Molecular Signature with Improved Electrostatics and Side-Chain Specificity [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Hyaluronan, a sugar polymer found outside the plasma membrane, is a critical component of the extracellular matrix (ECM) scaffold. Hyaluronan's length and moderate negative charge aid in ECM entanglement and solubility. This allows it to effectively foster gel-like conditions, which are critical for supporting and protecting cells in various tissues ...

Serum Sodium Concentration During Arginine Vasopressin Infusion in Critically Ill Children
ChildrenBackground: Intravenous arginine vasopressin is increasingly used for the treatment of critically ill children. It bears the risk of hyponatraemia with potential severe long-term sequelae, but data on hyponatraemia as a side effect of continuous ...

Fabrication and properties of L-arginine-doped PCL electrospun composite scaffolds [PDF]
, 2017 The article describes fabrication and properties of composite fibrous scaffolds obtained by electrospinning of the solution of poly({\epsilon}-caprolactone) and arginine in common solvent. The influence of arginine content on structure, mechanical, surface and biological properties of the scaffolds was investigated.
