| pubmed-article:11199266 | pubmed:abstractText | Due to their chemical definition and reduced size, the use of peptides as gene delivery systems is gaining interest as compared to the more common polymeric non-viral vectors. To achieve gene transfer efficiencies that would make peptides a realistic alternative to existing methods, we have evaluated and attempted to concert those properties with a direct impact on the activity of the system. These considerations have led to the design, synthesis and characterization of a 23-residue cationic peptide which we term RAWA. | lld:pubmed |
