Although groundbreaking biotechnological techniques such as gene editing have significantly progressed, the effective and targeted transport of therapeutic agents into host cells remains a major obstacle to the development of biotherapeutics. Confronting the unique challenge posed by large macromolecules such as proteins, peptides, and nucleic acids adds complexity to this issue. Recent findings reveal that the supercharging of proteins and peptides not only enables control over critical properties, such as temperature resistance and catalytic activity, but also holds promise as a viable strategy for their use in drug delivery. This review provides a concise summary of the attributes of supercharged proteins and peptides, encompassing both their natural occurrence and engineered variants. Furthermore, it sheds light on the present status and future possibilities of supercharged proteins and peptides as carriers for significant biomolecules in the realms of medical research and therapeutic applications.
