Abstract

By a combination of UV-Vis analyses, NMR-based diffusion measurements and MD simulations we have demonstrated for the first time that the HIV-1 Tat arginine-rich peptide (Tat11) is able to self-aggregate in both its fluorescently labeled and unlabeled variants. We propose Tat11 dimerization as the dominant aggregation process and show that the associated equilibrium constant increases ten-fold by labeling with the standard TAMRA dye. Also, we extend similar conclusions to other cationic cell penetrating peptides (CPPs), such as Antennapedia (Ant) and nona-arginine (R9).

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
