A Novel Cell-Penetrating Lipopeptide for DNA Binding, Self-Assembly, and Delivery Into HeLa and Pluripotent Stem Cells. [PDF]
A lipopeptide is designed that contains an epitope from simian virus T‐antigen (SV40T, PKKKRKV) conjugated to an N‐terminal palmitoyl (C16‐) moiety, which acts as a cell‐penetrating lipopeptide, with additional aggregation propensity conferred by the lipid chain. The lipopeptide enables DNA delivery into the cytoplasm and nucleus.

Lipopeptides in cosmetics [PDF]
SynopsisLipopeptides are biosurfactants extensively used in cosmetics. The consumption of cosmetics containing lipopeptides is increasing as a result of the exceptional surface properties and diverse biological activities of lipopeptides which facilitate a vast number of applications not only in the pharmaceutics industry which includes cosmetics but ...

Charting the Lipopeptidome of Nonpathogenic Pseudomonas
A major source of pseudomonad-specialized metabolites is the nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) assembling siderophores and lipopeptides. Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) of the Mycin and Peptin families are frequently associated with, but not restricted

Self-assembly, nematic phase formation and organocatalytic behaviour of a proline-functionalized lipopeptide [PDF]
The self-assembly of the amphiphilic lipopeptide PAEPKI-C16 (P = proline, A = alanine, E = glutamic acid, K = lysine, I = isoleucine, C16 = hexadecyl) was investigated using a combination of spectroscopic, microscopic and scattering methods and compared ...
