What is it about?

In this work we deciphered the mechanism how the designed peptide Vrf005 and Vrf007 uptake takes place.Further its interaction potential with antifungal drug natamycin was analysed and composite matrix were prepared for sustained release.

Why is it important?

Due to increase in antibiotic resistance there is dire need for developing peptide based therapeutic which can also acts as carrier for delivering drugs to the site of action.

Perspectives

understanding the mechanism of uptake of the peptides is important because by altering the mechanism sustained delivery can be improved
