It is a peptide consisting of 9 D-arginine residues and one activated cysteine residue C(Npys), where Npys is 3-Nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl group protects cysteine. This modification has been used to make the peptide suitable for conjugation and cell permeability studies as a carrier peptide. The S(Npys) group of this cysteine-containing 9R is capable of reacting selectively with the free thiol group of another cysteine-containing peptide to form an unsymmetrical disulfide bond.
