Modular materials composed of concentric functional “shells” with independently tuneable properties are prepared from the self-assembly of DNA and linear-dendritic hybrid polymers (see scheme; PAMAM=poly(amidoamine), PEG=poly(ethylene glycol)). These ligand-targeted systems demonstrate serum stability, low toxicity, and transfection efficiencies that exceed those of the most efficient commercially available polymer poly(ethylenimine).
Wood et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
