Abstract:
A generic peptide sequence for gene delivery is described. The sequence penetrates eukaryotic cells and promotes active DNA transport into mammalian cells (EGFP positive) by undergoing differential membrane-induced folding, which renders it both endosomolytic and antibacterial.

00:59Gene Therapy
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be inserted. The...
