Abstract
Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) have proven their potential as versatile drug delivery vehicles. Last decade has witnessed an unprecedented growth in CPP-based research, demonstrating the potential of CPPs as therapeutic candidates. In the past, many in silico algorithms have been developed for the prediction and screening of CPPs, which expedites the CPP-based research. In silico screening/prediction of CPPs followed by experimental validation seems to be a reliable, less time-consuming, and cost-effective approach. This chapter describes the prediction, screening, and designing of novel efficient CPPs using “CellPPD,” an in silico tool. © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015.
