Abstract
Octanol-water partitioning experiments in the presence of carboxylate-, phosphate-, and sulfate -containing anionic lipids revealed that Ac-Cav-NH2 (where Cav refers to delta-oxa-arginine) partitions less into octanol than does Ac-Arg-NH2, suggesting that a cell-penetrating peptide based on canavanine would be relatively ineffective.
