My first post here on Bluesky! Highlighting our preprint looking at how backbone modifications influence cyclic peptide cell uptake. Turns out it is a balancing act between uptake and biological activity. Great work by first author Joseph Openy and of course all others!

Single atom substitutions in backbone aromatic groups alter membrane permeability and biological activity of cyclic peptides
Cyclic peptides hold significant potential as disruptors of challenging targets such as protein-protein interactions, but their poor membrane permeability often limits their use for intracellular targ...
