Membrane-active peptides can be classified as cell-penetrating and antimicrobial (AMPs) that are known to play interchangeable roles. In this study, dual behaviour was studied for the marine AMP, tachyplesin. It is a well-established cyclic peptide possess properties investigated its property cargo delivery ability. Because of derivation from organism well nature, it has been shown higher stability in vitro. internalization established characterized both plant mammalian systems. deliver molecules living systems, emerging an efficient nonviral macromolecule nanocarrier.
