linear–dendrite copolymers containing hyper branched poly(citric acid) and linear poly(ethylene glycol) blocks pca–peg–pca are promising nonmaterial to use  in nanomedicine. to investigate their potential application in biological systems (especially for drug carries) oniom2 calculations were applied to study the nature of particular interactions between drug and the polymeric nanoparticles.  b...

In a previous paper (J. Phys. Chem. A2009, 113, 9721), we analyzed theoretically the Diels-Alder cycloaddition between cyclopentadiene and C(60) for which experimental results on energy barriers and reaction energies are known. One of the main conclusions reached was that the two-layered ONIOM2(B3LYP/6-31G(d):SVWN/STO-3G) method provides results very close to the full B3LYP/6-31G(d) ones. Unfor...

To improve drug selectivity toward target cells, one interesting approach for drug delivery is to use polymer nanoparticles. A two-layered ONIOM Becke3- LYP: UFF calculation was carried out to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of the interaction between acetamide derivatives and the PCA-PEG-PCA copolymers. The Interaction enthalpies and the Gibbs free energies between acetamide ...
