Design of Membrane Curvature Sensing Peptide–based Molecular Probes

Abstract

Membrane curvature plays an important role in the functions of biological membranes. Here, I focus on synthetic molecular probes based on membrane curvature sensing peptides for the development of useful molecular tools toward extracellular vesicles. I introduce several examples of such probes, for fluorescent sensing , analysis and isolation of extracellular vesicles.
