Abstract
The present invention relates to different uses of an RHCC peptide and/or a fragment thereof. Said RHCC peptide and/or fragment thereof enables an uptake and association of a drug and/or a substance into a cavity of said peptide and/or fragment, for the delivery and release of such a substance and/or drug to a target site of interest, or for removal of a substance from a fluid or a non-fluid matter, such as from a bodily tissue or a bodily fluid. An RHCC peptide and/or a fragment thereof, may also in one context be used in the production of nanoparticles, or as a catalyst in a chemical reaction. In a preferred aspect, said RHCC peptide and/or fragment thereof, comprises a drug delivery system for the delivery of a drug to a site of interest in a living body.
