β¦ Synopsis
The dispersity, size, and self-interaction of generation 5 polyamidoamine dendrimeric polymers with different terminal groups (surfaces) were characterized using several physicochemical techniques. Amino-surface dendrimers form oligomeric aggregates in aqueous solution, even in the presence of high salt concentrations (0.6M sodium phosphate). In contrast, the hydroxyl-surface polymer G5-OH behaves as a single homogeneous (or paucidisperse) species at low concentration. Measurements of density increment and the sedimentation and diffusion coefficients of G5-OH suggest a more swollen, porous structure than a globular protein of comparable mass. Measurements of the concentration dependence of sedimentation equilibrium of G5-OH in pH 7.2 phosphate buffer indicate the presence of significant electrostatic repulsion overlaid on weakly attractive interactions, leading to the formation of nonspecific aggregates at sufficiently high dendrimer concentration.
