Toll-like receptor agonist lipopeptides self-assemble into distinct nanostructures.
The self-assembled structure of toll-like receptor agonist lipopeptides containing the CSK4 peptide sequence is examined in aqueous solution. A remarkable dependence of morphology on the number of attached hexadecyl lipid chains is demonstrated, with spherical micelle structures for mono- and di-lipidated structures observed, but flexible wormlike micelles for the homologue containing three lip...
متن کاملQuantifying the coverage density of poly(ethylene glycol) chains on the surface of gold nanostructures.
The coverage density of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a key parameter in determining the efficiency of PEGylation, a process pivotal to in vivo delivery and targeting of nanomaterials. Here we report four complementary methods for quantifying the coverage density of PEG chains on various types of Au nanostructures by using a model system based on HS-PEG-NH(2) with different molecular weights. ...
متن کاملMultimeric, Multifunctional Derivatives of Poly(ethylene glycol)
This article reviews the use of multifunctional polymers founded on high-molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The design of new PEG derivatives assembled in a dendrimer-like multimeric fashion or bearing different functionalities on the same molecule is described. Their use as new drug delivery systems based on the conjugation of multiple copies or diversely active drugs on the same bi...
متن کاملMeasurements of interbilayer forces and protein adsorption on uncharged lipid bilayers displaying poly(ethylene glycol) chains.
Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-stabilized liposomes were recently shown to exhibit differences in cell uptake that were linked to the liposome charge. To determine the differences and similarities between charged and uncharged PEG-decorated liposomes, we directly measured the forces between two supported, neutral bilayers with terminally grafted PEG chains. The measurements were performed with the...
متن کاملSelf-fulfilling cavitands: packing alkyl chains into small spaces.
The present research was undertaken to determine the conformations of alkyl groups that are forced into small spaces. Unbranched alkyl groups assume fully extended conformations in the free space of solutions, because any bends in the structure create steric clashes between hydrogens along the chain. We synthesized a series of alkyl esters of a carboxylic acid attached to the inner surface of a...
