| Abstract | Membrane disruptive peptides (also called membrane fusogenic peptides) have been employed for cytosolic delivery of macromolecules such as nucleic acids and proteins. We reported previously that the cationic graft copolymer, poly(allylamine)-graft-dextran (PAA-g-Dex), augments membrane disruptive activity of the negatively charged E5 peptide. Strong membrane disruptive activity was observed in the presence of the copolymer at both acidic and neutral pH. In this paper, activities of E5/PAA-g-Dex mixture were further explored. Membrane permeabilization activity of E5/PAA-g-Dex was dependent on concentrations of both E5 and PAA-g-Dex, indicating that a complex between E5 and PAA-g-Dex produced the activity. Since the activity of peptide/PAA-g-Dex was peptide sequence-specific, we reasoned that PAA-g-Dex activated membrane-permeabilization activity by facilitating folding of E5 into its active conformation. The membrane permeabilization activity of E5/PAA-g-Dex resulted in transportation of bovine serum albumin into HL-60 cells with less cellular toxicity than digitonin, a naturally occurring surfactant used for delivery of macromolecules into cells. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
