We developed a new method using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry to accurately track Trojan peptides, also known as cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs), inside living cells. This technique resolves previous controversies regarding CPPs

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
  • Cell Biology
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are crucial for delivering molecules into cells.
  • Previous indirect detection methods for CPPs yielded controversial results regarding their cellular uptake mechanisms.
  • A precise method is needed to quantify CPPs within cells to understand their transport.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel, direct quantification method for tracking Trojan peptides (CPPs) within cells.
  • To provide a reliable tool for investigating the cellular entry mechanisms of CPPs.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a quantitative method utilizing MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
  • Application of the method to track Trojan peptides (CPPs) directly within cellular environments.
