1.C.101.1.1
The HIV-1 TAT peptide derives from the 101aa Tat protein (facilitates transport of drugs and macromolecules across membranes) (Herce and Garcia, 2007). TAT peptides can traverse cell membranes and generate pores in artificial membranes (Ciobanasu et al., 2010).  Anionic lipids accelerate peptide permeation. Cholesterol hinders transmembrane pore formation and thus modulates solute permeability (Hu and Patel 2016).
