molecules [such as proteins] by engulng them) or imaging of cellular reac-
tions in the cytoplasm or the nucleus with QDs necessitates sophisticated
tools. Positively charged peptide (a molecule consisting of two or more amino
acids)-transduction domains such as Tat (peptide from the cationic domain
of the HIV-1 Tat protein), polyarginine (cationic peptide that promotes trans-
fection efciency under a proper concentration), polylysine (a homopolymer
of L-lysine, an essential amino acid), and other specically designed CPPs
can be coated on to QDs for their delivery into cells. The adaptation of other
recently developed cell penetrating agents, such as streptaphage, a synthetic
ligand based on an N-alkyl derivative of ...
