Structure at the molecular level
SS-31 is a synthetic, aromatic-cationic tetrapeptide (D-Arg-Dmt-Lys-Phe-NH₂) that binds selectively to cardiolipin — a phospholipid found almost exclusively in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
What researchers use it for
In laboratory settings, SS-31 supports the study of mitochondrial bioenergetics, oxidative cell damage, and the structural organisation of the electron transport chain. Precise dosing as a lyophilized powder allows reproducible experimental setups.
