Heparin versus DNA: Chiral Preferences in Polyanion Binding to Self-Assembled Multivalent (SAMul) Nanostructures.
This communication presents simple cationic self-assembling multivalent (SAMul) first generation dendrons based on L or D lysine, which form identical nanoscale assemblies in terms of dimensions and charge densities but toward which DNA and heparin exhibit different chiral binding preferences. However, higher generation dendrons with larger hydrophilic head groups are bound identically by these...
متن کاملSelf-assembled multivalent carbohydrate ligands.
Materials that display multiple carbohydrate residues have gained much attention due to their potential to inhibit or modulate biological multivalent interactions. These materials can be grouped accordingly to the way they are prepared, as unimolecular or as self-assembled systems. Both systems take advantage of the fact that multivalent interactions have significantly higher binding affinity t...
متن کاملPlasmonic Optical Trapping in Biologically Relevant Media
We present plasmonic optical trapping of micron-sized particles in biologically relevant buffer media with varying ionic strength. The media consist of 3 cell-growth solutions and 2 buffers and are specifically chosen due to their widespread use and applicability to breast-cancer and angiogenesis studies. High-precision rheological measurements on the buffer media reveal that, in all cases excl...
متن کاملDouble-degradable responsive self-assembled multivalent arrays--temporary nanoscale recognition between dendrons and DNA.
This article reports self-assembling dendrons which bind DNA in a multivalent manner. The molecular design directly impacts on self-assembly which subsequently controls the way these multivalent nanostructures bind DNA--this can be simulated by multiscale modelling. Incorporation of an S-S linkage between the multivalent hydrophilic dendron and the hydrophobic units responsible for self-assembl...
متن کاملMulti-component hybrid hydrogels – understanding the extent of orthogonal assembly and its impact on controlled release† †Electronic supplementary information (ESI) available: Full experimental methods and further data from assays. See DOI: 10.1039/c7sc03301j Click here for additional data file.
This paper reports self-assembled multi-component hybrid hydrogels including a range of nanoscale systems and characterizes the extent to which each component maintains its own unique functionality, demonstrating that multi-functionality can be achieved by simply mixing carefully-chosen constituents. Specifically, the individual components are: (i) pH-activated low-molecular-weight gelator (LMW...
