Research paper thumbnail of Cell Penetrating Peptides and Cationic Antibacterial Peptides: two sides of the same coin

Results: IP-1 penetrates cells independently of endocytosis and makes pores in membranes with large electric potential. Conclusions: Antibacterial peptides like IP-1 make pores or penetrate membranes depending on the membrane potential. Significance: Antibacterial peptides with penetrating activity are robust to control bacterial infections.
