FIGURE 7.1 The length dependence of cellular uptake is observed for both polyguanidino<br />

peptoids and oligomers of d-arginine. The mean fluorescence from 5000 cells of a human T<br />

cell line, Jurkat, is shown after incubation with 12.5 µM of each of the peptides for 5 min.<br />

Uptake was measured in triplicate at concentrations varying from 400 nM to 50 µM. The data<br />

are shown at a single concentration for ease of presentation. Details of the assay are described<br />

in Section 7.2.<br />

9 was found to be related to the number of guanidine residues in the peptoid, with<br />

the nonamer entering cells more effectively than the heptamer, which in turn was<br />

more effective than the pentamer (N-arg9 > N-arg7 > N-arg5) (Figure 7.1). These<br />

results are analogous to previously reported behavior for the different oligomers of<br />
