Abstract
The conjugation of a ferrocenyl amino acid to the cell-penetrating peptide hCT(9-32) does not impair its ability to efficiently translocate into cells. Furthermore, the bioconjugate does not induce any cytotoxicity, thus presenting a potential electrochemical sensor suitable for the detection of living cells.
