Peptide–glycosaminoglycan cluster formation involving cell penetrating peptides
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) affect the efficiency of cellular uptake of a wide range of cell penetrating peptides (CPPs). GAGs have been proposed to cluster with CPPs at the cell surface before uptake but little is known about the formation or stability of CPP-GAG clusters. Here we apply a combination of heparin affinity chromatography, dynamic light scattering, and fluorescence spectroscopy to characterize the formation, stability, and size of the clusters formed between CPPs and heparin. Under conditions similar to those used in cell uptake experiments the CPP, penetratin (Antp), was observed to form significantly more stable clusters with heparin than the CPP TAT, despite TAT showing a comparable affinity for heparin. This difference in cluster stability may explain the origins of the preferred cell uptake pathways followed by Antp and TAT, and may be an important parameter for optimizing the efficiency of designed CPP delivery vectors.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
