Structure of DNA-Functionalized Dendrimer Nanoparticles
Atomistic molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out to reveal the characteristic features of ethylenediamine (EDA) cored protonated (corresponding to neutral pH) poly amido amine (PAMAM) dendrimers of generation 3 (G3) and 4 (G4) that are functionalized with single stranded DNAs (ssDNAs). The four ssDNA strands that are attached via alkythiolate [-S (CH2)6-] linker molecule to the fr...
متن کاملImproved biocompatibility of surface functionalized dendrimer- entrapped gold nanoparticles{
Gold nanoparticles (NPs) have recently received immense scientific and technological interest because of their extensive applications in biology, catalysis, and nanotechnology. In most of these applications, the gold NP surfaces are modified with different functionalities. For instance, alkanethiol and alkylamine molecules are used for phase transfer of gold NPs, and oligonucleotide molecules a...
متن کاملConvenient synthesis and properties of polypropyleneimine dendrimer-functionalized polymer nanoparticles.
A simple synthesis of polymer core-dendrimer shell nanoparticles (NPs) in the 15-20-nm-diameter range is presented. Amine-terminated polypropyleneimine (PPI) dendrimers DAB-dendri-(NH(2))(4) and DAB-dendri-(NH(2))(16) (DAB4 and DAB16) are covalently attached to the surface of primary polystyrene-based NPs bearing reactive chlorobenzyl groups produced by microemulsion polymerization in the prese...
متن کاملThermal Stability of DNA Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles
Therapeutic uses of DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-AuNPs) have shown great potential and exciting opportunities for disease diagnostics and treatment. Maintaining stable conjugation between DNA oligonucleotides and gold nanoparticles under thermally stressed conditions is one of the critical aspects for any of the practical applications. We systematically studied the thermal stabili...
متن کاملDendrimer-Functionalized Shell-crosslinked Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for In-Vivo Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Tumors**
Non-invasive diagnosis and detection of early-stage tumors is regarded as one of the current challenges in the biomedical sciences. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a powerful, non-invasive imaging technique because of its high spatial resolution and tomographic capabilities. However, the signal sensitivity of MR imaging for specific biological targets is largely dependent on the specificity ...
