Abstract:
A pH-responsive fusion peptide according to the present disclosure, containing a cell-penetrating peptide exhibiting a positive charge, which contains 2-15 arginine residues, and a β-sheet-forming segment, experiences structural change depending on pH change. Due to the structural change, the anti-prion activity and cytotoxicity of the fusion peptide can be controlled as desired.
