A peptide functionalized nanomotor as an efficient cell penetrating tool

Abstract

A nanomotor based strategy for fast cellular entry and cargo delivery is presented. The concept focuses on integrating tat peptide, a basic domain of HIV-1 tat protein, with state of the art nanomotors which possess attractive autonomous properties, facilitating cellular penetration and uptake. The rapid cellular internalization process leads to higher delivery efficiency.
