    Development of Novel Peptides for Mitochondrial Drug Delivery: Amino Acids Featuring Delocalized Lipophilic Cations

    To create a new class of mitochondria-penetrating peptides (MPPs) that would facilitate drug delivery into the organelle through the inclusion of delocalized lipophilic cations (DLCs) in the peptide sequence.
