Targeting high-density aromatic peptides to cardiolipin optimizes the mitochondrial membrane potential.

Alexander Victor Birk, Shaoyi Liu, Virginia García‐Marín, Margaret A. MacNeil

This paper develops a high-density aromatic peptide (HDAP2) that targets cardiolipin to optimize mitochondrial membrane potential, enhancing cell survival and preventing depolarization.
