Stapled peptides recapitulate the binding affinity and specificity of α-helices in proteins, resist proteolytic degradation, and may provide a novel modality against challenging drug targets such as protein-protein interactions. However, most of the stapled peptides have limited cell permeability or are impermeable to the cell membrane. We show herein that stapled peptides can be rendered highly cell-permeable by conjugating a cyclic cell-penetrating peptide to their N-terminus, C-terminus, or s ...[more]
