## Abstract Three poly(amidoamine)s with pendant primary amines were synthesized by Michael polyaddition of a diamine to __N,Nโ__methylenebis(acrylamide). The poly(amidoamine)s with primary and tertiary amines possess a high buffer capacity between pHโ=โ5 and 7, which facilitates the escape of poly
Cholesterol-conjugated H 5 R 10 and H 10 R 10 oligopeptides (HR15-Chol and HR20-Chol) were designed and synthesized. These amphiphilic oligopeptides were able to self-assemble into cationic micelles in aqueous solution at low concentrations, and their critical micelle concentrations in sodium acetat
## Abstract ## Background Chitosan derivatives are potential candidates for gene delivery because they are biocompatible and low toxic. However, their use has been limited by their moderate transfection efficiency and the rather large sizes of DNA complexes with high molecular weight chitosans. To
