Compositions and methods for enhancing delivery of molecules, e.g.
biological agents, into cells are described. The composition is a
conjugate of the biological agent, preferably a nucleic acid analog
having a substantially uncharged backbone, covalently linked to a peptide
transporter moiety as described. Conjugation of the peptide transporter
to a substantially uncharged nucleic acid analog, such as a morpholino
oligomer, is also shown to enhance binding of the oligomer to its target
sequence and enhance antisense activity.
