## Abstract Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) have been successfully used to mediate the intracellular delivery of a wide variety of molecules of pharmacological interest both __in vitro__ and __in vivo__, although the mechanisms by which the cellular uptake occurs remain unclear and controversial.

## Abstract Interaction of the cell‐penetrating peptide (CPP) cysteine‐transportan (Cys‐TP) with model lipid membranes was examined by spin‐label electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Membranes were labeled with lipophilic spin probes and the influence of Cys‐TP on membrane structure was studied.
To investigate properties of hydrophilic bundled peptides and their interactions with phospholipid membranes, bundled peptides named [Trp 2 ]-and [Trp 12 ]-4h-4 6 S9, which are composed of four fragments of amphiphilic 24-mer peptide, were designed and synthesized. Tryptophan (Trp) was introduced at
## Abstract Antimicrobial peptides are major components of the innate self‐defence system and a large number of peptides have been designed to study the mechanism of action. In the present study, a small combinatorial library was designed to study whether the biological activity of Val/Arg‐rich pep
