Impact of multivalent charge presentation on peptide–nanoparticle aggregation
Strategies to achieve controlled nanoparticle aggregation have gained much interest, due to the versatility of such systems and their applications in materials science and medicine. In this article we demonstrate that coiled-coil peptide-induced aggregation based on electrostatic interactions is highly sensitive to the length of the peptide as well as the number of presented charges. The quater...
متن کاملTargeting tumor angiogenesis: comparison of peptide and polymer-peptide conjugates.
UNLABELLED Endothelial cells in tumor angiogenesis are highly accessible, genetically stable and present unique molecular markers for targeted therapy. Neoplasia is also characterized by enhanced vascular permeability and disordered lymphatics so that both active and passive targeting strategies may play a role in localizing angiogenesis-targeted agents. To investigate the relative importance o...
متن کاملEndothelial targeting of high-affinity multivalent polymer nanocarriers directed to intercellular adhesion molecule 1.
Targeting of diagnostic and therapeutic agents to endothelial cells (ECs) provides an avenue to improve treatment of many maladies. For example, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), a constitutive endothelial cell adhesion molecule up-regulated in many diseases, is a good determinant for endothelial targeting of therapeutic enzymes and polymer nanocarriers (PNCs) conjugated with anti-ICA...
متن کاملConjugation of proteins to polymer chains to create multivalent molecules.
The activation of cellular signaling cascades, critical for regulating cell function and fate, often involves changes in the organization of receptors in the cell membrane. Using synthetic multivalent ligands to control the nanoscale organization of cellular receptors into clusters is an attractive approach to elicit desired downstream cellular responses, since multivalent ligands can be signif...
متن کاملSuperselective Targeting Using Multivalent Polymers
Despite their importance for material and life sciences, multivalent interactions between polymers and surfaces remain poorly understood. Combining recent achievements of synthetic chemistry and surface characterization, we have developed a well-defined and highly specific model system based on host/guest interactions. We use this model to study the binding of hyaluronic acid functionalized wit...
